What is a theme?
The core of a story. Theme: An idea, concept, or lesson that appears repeatedly throughout a story, reflects the person’s internal journey through the external plot, and resonates with the audience. It is the connective tissue that holds the story together. “Theme is the prescription for living that the writer wants to give the audience or the reader.”- Michael Hauge
Two types of theme
Dramatic theme: how you feel (i.e. Las Vegas, adult freedom)1 2

Why Story is Important
Stories have the unique ability to create an emotional connection. Because of the way they affect us, stories are easy to remember. Stories carry the power to influence your audience.03 01 02
The marketing definition of story
“If you imbue your product or place with an emotion and meaning, people will be moved, they will remember and tell other people.”Story in destinations
Story in destinations is non-linear. Spatial storytelling Where film requires strong stories and characters, theme parks (destinations) require a strong environment.Types of Audiences
When Auckland has chosen its brand essence: Waders, Swimmers and Divers need to be equally satisfied.Auckland’s Place DNA
What makes Auckland unique?
Urban Māori Nature Economy Multicultural Tāmaki Makaurau AucklandTāmaki Makaurau – Auckland
Auckland is a friendly and attractive place with a high quality of life. Shaped by maunga (volcanoes), harbours and coastal waters, the landscape blends softly between varying shades of blue and green. From our beaches to our bush and our parks, this colourful and calming scene forever connects us to the whenua (our land). Home to iwi (tribes) of Tāmaki Makaurau, the origins of voyages and settlement frame the history of the Tāmaki Makaurau we know and love today. As a diverse city, we embody the Māori values of whanaungatanga (a sense of belonging), wairua (a sense of wellbeing) and kotahitanga (oneness). We welcome you. We share this abundance with you. We open our doors to you. You are safe with us. A region rich in resources and surrounded by water, Tāmaki Makaurau is a place of enchanting beauty and economic strength. We are immensely proud of all that it contains and creates. Alive with diversity, our people are travellers, migrants and locals alike. We welcome all to our shores with open arms and extend everyone equal opportunity to thrive and succeed in our home. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a youthful energy, we work together to turn small ideas into great things and push Auckland towards a bright future. Whether it’s a quick visit or a lifelong home, Auckland has a soul that will enrich you forever. Tāmaki Herenga Waka. Tāmaki Herenga Tāngata. Tāmaki Makaurau. Auckland, the place where canoes gather.

Captivating Beauty The beauty of Auckland speaks for itself. Characterised by lush green parks, volcanoes and sparkling blue sea, it is a place that beckons you to explore your environment. Set amongst four harbours, the architecture of the region compliments its natural surrounds with towering glass buildings and sleek bridges. Watch as sail boats pass by from a city known for its elegance and ease. Cultural diversity Auckland is home to a diverse range of cultures from all over the world, and because of that, there is never a dull moment. From the thriving art and music scene, to a wide-ranging culinary community, Auckland is always engaging, interesting and colourful. Pacific Ocean Auckland is a city of the Pacific. Our tūpuna first crossed the Pacific by waka to a volcanic landscape forged by fire with fertile soil and cinder cones fit for settlement. Today, this same ocean represents opportunity. We can touch it, smell it, feel it. Full of aspirations, the Pacific is part of what we are, and we visit it frequently. Māoritanga (Māori Culture) Auckland’s history is celebrated with great pride. Home to iwi of Tāmaki Makaurau for many generations, the stories of spirited voyages taken long ago by our tūpuna (ancestors) can still be seen and heard today. Tāmaki Makaurau is a place that connects the past and present of Aotearoa, and Māoritanga is with you wherever you are. Surprisingly Urban Auckland is the economic powerhouse of Aotearoa, a rapidly changing city forging a place for the future. As the cultural and culinary capital of Aotearoa, eating out is always a treat to savour. A Unesco City of Music, you’re never far from a concert or gig, and Auckland’s- riginal and international arts and entertainment scene delights the senses. It is a place where our young spirit roars, where tech hubs
