A SHORT INTRODUCTION

Antimony have been working with Matt and the rest of the leadership team at 5th Element Wellness for since 2018. To date they are our oldest and dearest clients. Its difficult to distill & detail all of the intricate projects that we’ve done together for the past five years. 5th Element have always lead the way when it comes to health, wellbeing and innovation, even in the most difficult circumstances their adaptability, openness and resilience has earned them the award for most transformative business we’ve ever worked with.

The challenge

Crafting an Integrative Strategy for New Zealand's Wellness Revolution

The context

Launched against the backdrop of increasing male interest in self-care, SADA MEN sought to disrupt the skincare market. Striving to redefine masculinity in beauty, SADA MEN aimed to dismantle stereotypes and present a skincare line that resonated with men’s needs — affirming that beauty knows no gender.

market analysis

Delving into the growing trend of men’s skincare, our research highlighted a promising market, with 2.8 million Australian males regularly using skincare products. In a rapidly expanding global market, we set a bold target: capturing 1% of the addressable Australian market within the first 36 months, translating to over 28,000 potential new customers. Our approach was to redefine the narrative around men’s skincare, moving away from stereotypes to a more inclusive, confident, and authentic dialogue. We crafted a design language that mirrored this ethos, focusing on simplicity, effectiveness, and relatability.

our move

Introducing Holistic Health Through Design & Instinctive Narrative

WORDS FROM ANTIMONY

Thought, emotion and narrative, in full consciousness, impacts the deepest zones of the human condition. This can lead to transformations that have the potential to be revolutionary. Likewise, how information is shared can directly influence communities and can change the way a culture acts. eg. Tik tok et al. The SADA MEN Brand has the potential to completely transform how men perceive, communicate about and care for their skin. We’re excited to be supporting them with this shift in men’s consciousness.

A SHORT INTRODUCTION

Its difficult to distill & detail all of the intricate projects that we’ve done together for the past five years. 5th Element have always lead the way when it comes to health, wellbeing and innovation, even in the most difficult circumstances their adaptability, openness and resilience has earned them the award for most transformative business we’ve ever worked with.

How to Scale Without Loosing Intimacy

The context

Elly Sofocli is a leading Australian bridal designer celebrated for her architectural silhouettes, artisanal detail, and daring femininity. With increasing demand from international stockists and a growing global profile, Elly needed more than a website she needed a digital ecosystem that could support e-commerce, made-to-order management, and a seamless luxury experience. As Elly Sofocli’s recognition grew, her digital presence needed to reflect the brand’s evolution from boutique atelier to a globally recognised name in bridal couture. This meant more than a pretty website. We needed to deliver a high-end experience while keeping the craftsmanship and couture details front and centre.

THE analysis

The bridal industry is intensely competitive. Bridal and luxury fashion brands face a delicate challenge in going digital: maintaining exclusivity while expanding access. Elly’s legacy was built offline, but the next chapter needed scalable, story-rich infrastructure. Her clients aren’t casual browsers they’re women making life-defining decisions. The experience had to meet them with elegance, clarity and confidence at every click. For Elly, growth was coming from three fronts: a surge in made-to-order demand, international stockist interest, and direct customer enquiries. However, the website lacked the functionality and flexibility to meet this scale. Stockist journeys, international clientele, and internal management tools were underdeveloped.

our move

Merging couture elegance with
a powerful digital framework
to elevate brand experience, streamline operations, and set
the stage for global scale.

WORDS FROM ANTIMONY

Thought, emotion and narrative, in full consciousness, impacts the deepest zones of the human condition. This can lead to transformations that have the potential to be revolutionary.

Scaling Without Compromise

The Challenge

Elly was managing international interest, stockist growth, and made-to-order requests across disparate channels manual forms, email chains, and offline processes. Her site didn’t reflect the global brand she’d become. More than a refresh, she needed a total digital transformation to meet demand while preserving the couture feel.

THE WORK

We approached Elly Sofocli’s transformation with both strategy and sensitivity, ensuring that every layer of her digital ecosystem reflected the elegance of her craft while equipping her business for scale. The process began with audience and journey mapping, allowing us to fully understand the emotional, logistical and aspirational touch points of her clients.

We led a complete reimagining of the brand’s digital identity—designing a new visual system, refining her tone of voice, and crafting content to better reflect the couture experience she offers. We designed and built a custom Webflow site with a headless architecture, prioritising performance and editorial polish. We introduced e-commerce for the first time in the brand’s history, carefully balancing accessibility with exclusivity for our veil store front. This included dedicated pathways for made-to-order collections, veil purchases, and stockist engagement. On the backend, we streamlined her workflows with integrated CRM systems, custom booking forms, and scalable infrastructure, ensuring the site not only looked premium but functioned powerfully.

Every decision was made to uphold Elly’s reputation while setting the foundation for international growth, and the result is a digital presence that feels deeply personal, intelligently built, and unmistakably hers.

THE RESULT

Elly Sofocli’s digital presence is now truly global, supporting online orders from the US, and Asia while nurturing exclusive partnerships across Australia. She now engages customers directly through a polished marketing platform, with bookings and orders streamlined through a fully integrated Webflow experience. The result? A brand that feels more herself than ever both online and offline.
