New Zealand’s leading fine jewellery brand, Michael Hill, has announced International model and entrepreneur, Miranda Kerr as its brand ambassador. The partnership marks a new era for the brand globally and arguably one of the biggest brand overhauls. 

 Kerr’s 18-month ambassadorship with Michael Hill spearheads the unveiling of the new brand identity that is set to rival other premium jewellery brands, with Kerr sharing that she was honoured to join the Michael Hill family at such a pivotal time in its brand transformation. 

"I am thrilled to be the Michael Hill ambassador; this partnership is so special to me because one of my first photoshoots in my career was with Michael Hill over 20 years ago. I’m proud to support Michael Hill in the next chapter of its journey, just like they supported me all those years ago"

Michael Hill’s CEO, Daniel Bracken said Kerr’s appointment was a critical element of its long-term brand strategy. 

The brand refresh encapsulates every element of the brand. From a new logo to a new website, social media, and design assets through to a new global flagship store in Chadstone, Melbourne. Additionally, a new colour palette and packaging has been introduced that embraces simplicity, inspired by the beautiful green New Zealand landscapes from which Sir Michael Hill began the story of the brand nearly 45 years ago. 

"Miranda not only embodies our brand values, but she’s close to our antipodean roots and is the epitome of timeless elegance and sophistication.  Michael Hill has the ambition to be one of the most sustainable jewellery brands in the world and this aligns perfectly with the sustainable business practices that Miranda follows”

Jo Feeney, Michael Hill's Chief Marketing Officer added: “Our new branding aims to continue telling the story of our proud heritage and bring to life the vision we’ve been working towards for the past two years of building a premium, aspirational brand that moves with the times and shifts perceptions.”

“Each element of our rebrand has been carefully considered to align with our history and DNA as a brand and to allow us to continue evolving. Our commitment to quality, craft and creativity is just as strong today as it was when we first began in 1979.”

Kerr will be featured in Michael Hill’s new advertising campaign, ongoing promotional activities, brand events, social media campaigns, and more.
