A SYNOPSIS
A Word From Our Client
“Every bit of the event was perfection, from the venue and the guest list, to the sustainability efforts, the overall format and the food & beverage. You (Mark Lakin) truly captured the Kerzner/One&Only brand ethos which meshed so well with that of The Legacy Untold. Our goal was to bring awareness of our brands to people of influence from various industries, and we can confidently say that this was accomplished. The way you presented each of the resorts was terrific, and I enjoyed hearing from the attendees afterwards on which property they were personally most excited to see.“
– Michael Foley, Regional Director, Global Sales & Marketing, Kerzner International (parent company of One&Only)
The Client
Created exclusively for the ultra-luxury market, One&Only is an award-winning global hospitality brand and a hallmark of excellence in the industry. Set in some of the most beautiful locales in the world, each remarkable resort offers guests a distinctive experience and personality borne of its local culture, a genuine hospitality and a lively energy that is unrivaled. With One&Only, Atlantis, SIRO and Rare Finds, Kerzner’s portfolio caters to discerning guests across a spectrum of luxury hospitality experiences.
The Task
Kerzner/One&Only hired The Legacy Untold to market their state of the art, exclusive, experiential properties to the elite of New York. Featured destinations and properties included South Africa (One&Only Cape Town), Rwanda (Nyungwe House & Gorilla’s Nest), Mauritius (Le St. Géran), Mexico (Mandarina & Palmilla), and Greece (Aesthesis & Kéa Island).
The Legacy
The Legacy Untold ideated, designed, and produced one of its signature VIP Gilded Grounds dinner experiences, hosted by its founder Mark Lakin. We partnered with Kerzner/One&Only and the Nine Orchard Hotel and delivered sponsorships by Tequila Komos, Black River Caviar, Therabody, Montroi, Osea Skincare, and Foton Pearled Candle. The Legacy Untold interwove its signature travel experiences with the branding goals of Kerzner/One&Only, blending top luxury, thrilling adventure, exclusive access, and meaningful impact. We drew inspiration from eight One&Only properties to create a global signature menu paired with expressions of Tequila Komos, who upcycles their agave waste into bricks to build schools & hospitals in Mexico.
