My Travel Feature with Mercedes-Benz to the Great Ocean Road

It’s been go go go since the new year, that I haven’t had time to let down my hair or even share about my recent work and travels to the Apollo Bay with Mercedes-Benz. I recently went on a road trip with my dear friend Tiffany Newman (This Within) to the Great Ocean Road. I was actually quite surprised to even hear that Mercedes-Benz wanted to feature me, because I didn’t find anything special about myself other than, maybe my crazy pink hair. It all seemed surreal that I remembered calling Berlin to check if this enquiry was legit! Well that’s because they were asking me to cruise with my friend to the Great Ocean Road for 2 days with people whom I didn’t know.

Anyway, as it really turns out it was an adventure of a lifetime. Not only was it incredible to work with Mercedes-Benz, I was able to share this special experience with my good friend, Tiffany as I know she loves to travel and is up for any get away and basking in the sun.

I was the designated driver and I had to drive at precision speeds, between 80-100kms per hour. I cruised through the windy roads, often starting and stopping a few dozen times so we were steer clear of cars. Sometimes parallel driving, crossing over, driving bumper to bumper then repeat to make sure we got all the camera angles needed to make a good film feature. It was so much fun working with Arabella Bartsch and Toby (the duo film crew representing Fischer Appelt) that by the end of the trip, we all became awesome friends!

So here’s my film feature!

Every Day with Peter J

I’ve grown up with Peter Jackson, and I can always remember the iconic “Peter Jackson” jingle that sounded over their adverts as the most dapper of men graced the screen. Peter Jackson has been making luxury & innovative tailoring to meet every Aussie man’s needs for decades and has become the go to for men in every state….including my very own Dad.

When I was little girl, my Dad would used to take me on a mission to choose a shirt and tie for him, and Peter Jackson was his shop of choice. So when I say that I’ve grown up with Peter Jackson, I mean more than just knowing the jingle off by heart. Decades later, I have been fortunate enough to work with this classic brand in a creative and street style capacity.

Aiming to bring a fresh and interesting look to PJ, we created a new wave of direction where story telling and lifestyle elements are key to their content. The #EverydaywithPeterJ campaign shows how the everyday man can take any Peter Jackson garment and weave it in with his own wardrobe to define his own style. Working with a number of Social Influencers, the campaign is an exciting new concept and project I am proud to share with you.

First off, here’s Daniel James Harris (@danieljamesharris) from The Gallant Army. See our first street style story below, with more to come in the next few days.

Enjoy! xx
