Another throwback from the - VIVA 20th Birthday Party a few years ago in Tāmaki Makaurau.

More than 300 VIP guests raised their glasses to celebrate of 20 years of VIVA at the Auckland Museum back in Aug, 2018.

The dome was transformed into a glitter ball, literally, to host an array of names who had all contributed to the success of the brand over the past two decades.

VIP’s took a walk down memory lane as they joined the event, as VIVA's successful timeline of events and accomplishments were shared through various activations and displays to celebrate the huge milestone.

To the next 20 years, Viva - The New Zealand Herald!

Another special thanks to the VIVA sponsors, Champagne G.H.MUMM, Tiger Beer, Karven Craft Distiller, Matisse, Huawei and MINI.

Jumping into the to look back at this gorgeous activation lunch, ‘Taste of New Tealand’ that we created for Ti Ora Tea at Auckland’s French Cafe.

This multi- sensory experience was a luncheon event for media, influencers and customers; inspired by Aotearoa, New Zealand and Ti Ora who use premium hand selected teas with native New Zealand botanicals and natural ingredients.

Guests were taken on a journey to ignite the senses; hearing, touch, taste, smell and sight and every aspect of the experience was designed and created by the janda team

The drinks were a selection of mocktails made with Ti Ora Tea by mixologist, An Nguyen, and the bespoke menu, inspired by local ingredients, was created by renowned Auckland chef, Sid Sahrawat.

Another magical journey delivered by janda!
