MANGO HOUSE
Luxury Beach Resort, Mahé, Seychelles
Mango House is a five-star beach resort situated in the remote southwest of Mahé Island in the Seychelles, featuring 41 sea-facing rooms and 5 tantalising culinary venues, managed by LXR Hotels & Resorts, Hilton’s indie luxury collection brand.
Mango House has an abundance of stories to be told, thanks to its original owner Gian Paolo Barbieri, the famous Italian fashion photographer, who found solace in the tropical setting and Creole culture during the 1970s, where he built his home, the original Mango House.
Along with the talented team at Destinate, we were commissioned to activate and manage various communication channels including their social media, email marketing, advertising (digital and print) and collateral development. I was tasked specifically with creative direction, photography and graphic design.
Taking our lead from the original brand positioning created by Insignia Worldwide, with the essence of “Handcrafted Hospitality”, we crafted an authentic and evocative brand narrative rooted in the cultural and natural heritage of Seychelles, while paying tribute to the creative ingenuity and artistic flair of the original owner.
Below is a cross section of my work for Mango House, including:

PROMOTIONS & DIGITAL ADVERTISING
I was the creative director and designer for various promotions and specials, translating the format to suit various digital platforms such as social media, email and paid search.
NEWSLETTERS
I was the creative director and designer for the monthly newsletter, which continued the travel journal theme and seamless design.

The highlight was our seamless Instagram grid, designed to look like a travel journal, peppered with anecdotes, carousel photo stories and videos, in line with the brand essence of “Handcrafted Hospitality”.
