THE STORY
Wander: A Polished Bistro in Wynyard Quarter from the Team behind Ambler
Datella is a start-up that aims to cater to people’s natural sweet cravings. Their mission is to provide a healthier spread made from natural ingredients. Ola, the founder, has traveled extensively and resided in numerous countries, including Dubai, UAE, where she was inspired to create Datella, a low-calorie natural spread. During her time in the Middle East, Ola discovered that most sweets contained high amounts of sugar or sugary syrups. She wanted to find a healthier and more natural way to satisfy her sweet cravings and fell in love with dates. This passion for dates led to the creation of the brand, selling mainly in Organic or gourmet shops across in New Zealand.

I had an opportunity to work with Emma for 3 months on the marketing initiative for Datella Date Spreads. Emma is a self-driven, organized, and hardworking professional with a great knowledge of social media marketing & PR. As a result of Emma’s work, Datella has been published in a newspaper of record for NZ – the New Zealand Herald – Eat Well. It was a great achievement for a small food start-up! It’s been an absolute pleasure dealing with Emma!
