CASE STUDIES

Some work we’re proud of.

The work featured here reflects the thinking, strategy, and hands-on work that shaped The 8412 Collective. Some of this work began before The 8412 Collective was formally established, but it remains an important part of the experience and thinking that shaped us. Each project reflects a different challenge and context, but all of them share the approach we bring to all our work: understanding what the business or organisation actually needs before deciding what to build.

The Brief

Support The Modern Classroom's marketing and lead-generation efforts as it developed experiential learning journeys for school students.

What We Did

Developed the content strategy around evolving business priorities, alongside editorial planning, content development, and wider marketing support. We also coordinated with external partners across design, video, web development, SEO, and other specialist areas.

Our Approach

As the organisation evolved, we helped reposition it from a travel partner to an educational partner creating experiential learning journeys. This shift shaped its content, messaging, and wider marketing, including the content for its new website.

The Engagement

Our work with Odyssey Retreat has grown into an end-to-end marketing engagement spanning brand, content, digital presence, customer acquisition and the systems that support them.

What We Did

Led the rebranding of Odyssey Retreat and development of its new website, alongside marketing and content strategy, social media, SEO, digital campaigns, newsletters, sales collateral, and photography. We also coordinate with specialist partners across design, digital, CRM, and AI solutions.

Our Approach

We look at Odyssey’s marketing as an interconnected whole rather than a collection of channels. Business priorities and audience needs inform the brand, content, and campaigns, while the website, sales communication, digital platforms, and supporting systems work together as part of the customer journey.

The Brief

Build a consistent content presence around PARC's training programmes and work with mental health professionals, while communicating specialised subject matter clearly and thoughtfully.

What We Did

Developed the content strategy and editorial calendars for Instagram and LinkedIn, alongside ongoing content for courses, workshops, and other initiatives. The work included programme launches, faculty profiles, educational content, and organisational updates across carousels, reels, stories, and captions.

Our Approach

PARC’s work involves specialised concepts from psychotherapy and mental health practice. We took the time to understand the subject matter closely, so we could make it accessible without oversimplifying it. This helped us communicate complex professional learning while retaining the nuance and integrity of the original material.

The Brand

The Bodhi Maram was a vegan retail brand offering vegan sarees and 92.5 sterling silver jewellery, built around a consciously curated approach to fashion and accessories.

What We Did

Built the brand and its presence from the ground up, from shaping its communication and establishing its Instagram presence to creating social media content and engaging directly with customers. The work also included product photography in collaboration with a photographer and taking the brand offline through flea markets.

Our Approach

We built the brand across both digital and physical touchpoints, creating a consistent voice and visual identity across its products, photography, social media, and in-person customer experience.
