Knepp
Building the business case for rewilding
The brief

Develop an actionable marketing strategy combining purpose and profit for the Knepp Estate.

How we made positive change

Knepp is famous in sustainability circles as the pioneers of the UK’s rewilding movement. Bringing turtle doves and purple emperor butterflies back to the Sussex countryside. The Knepp Estate offering had evolved over this time – adding a restaurant, a butchery, garden, a camping site, eco-tourism tours - and there was tension between the commercial and sustainability sides of the business. To reconcile this, we created a marketing strategy that showcased Knepp as a trailblazer, changing the way we think about nature and demonstrating how to build a sustainable business model where purpose and profit combine.
