Vista Yachting
One of those rare opportunities in life: building a brand from scratch, nurturing it, and watching it grow to the point where it no longer needs you—because it can now stand confidently on its own. That’s the story of our journey with Vista Yachting.
A new household name in sailing and yachting on Santorini.
Santorini’s yachting scene is dominated by well-established services, making it challenging for new players like Vista Yachting to stand out. But if there’s one thing we love, it’s a good challenge.
Our mission was to create a “traveler's favorite choice” for daily cruises in Santorini. By employing parallel design thinking loops, we mapped every brand touchpoint—physical, digital, and emotional—before embarking on a complete brand experience redesign and implementing a long-term brand transformation strategy with measurable results.
Key Activations
Our contributions spanned nearly every facet of the brand:
Brand logo and visual identity
Brand voice, vision, and positioning
Company offices and partnerships
Customer experience, products, and services
Digital presence, website, and booking strategies
Digital advertising, content strategy, and campaigning
The Vista Challenge
A cornerstone of our digital strategy was the creation of the “Vista Challenge,” an engaging Instagram campaign that continues to run successfully. By encouraging user-generated content, the campaign generates impeccable customer reviews on platforms like Google, while fostering an engaged community around the brand.
From Startup to Standout
Thanks to our versatile contributions during a turbulent growth period, Vista Yachting has become a fully-booked service with a significantly expanded fleet of catamarans and yachts. Today, it stands shoulder-to-shoulder with its top competitors on the island, firmly establishing itself as a premier yachting experience in Santorini.
