Our Success

WordStorm worked with Muffin Break on creating the unofficial ‘Election Bean Poll’ for the 2007 Australian Federal election. Muffin Break placed glass jars on their counters illustrating the different parties’ names. Every time a customer bought a coffee they were asked to ‘vote’ by placing a coffee bean into their chosen jar. WordStorm used the data from all the Muffin Break stores to garner media attention. As a result, Muffin Break received product placements and feature articles in many national media outlets increasing awareness of the brand significantly.

Media Coverage

Over several years, WordStorm achieved editorial coverage about Muffin Break in publications such as Retail World, Woman's Day, NW, The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph - Sunday Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph - Body + Soul, The Sunday Times and mX.

Testimonial

“WordStorm has been able to attain a great deal of publicity for both our brands since we begun working with them. In the past we have found it difficult to find a PR company who could deliver and ensure we achieved return on investment, however with WordStorm the investment has always been worthwhile.”
