The concept wasn\u2019t new. A company called Smile Click used professional photographers and a model where customers could view, select and pay for their photos and return later to collect them, packaged into a brown paper bag.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In a nod to his curious nature, John and his business partner checked out other Queenstown attractions, picking up on the value proposition in the hearts and minds of holiday-goers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s an emotional reason why people wanted to capture these moments, right? They\u2019re on holiday with their loved ones and there was a real desire for them to capture the moment and showcase the value with the people they love. I thought, what if we told a beautiful story in full colour and placed the finished product in the customer\u2019s hands right then and there. If they wanted re-prints we could deliver to their hotel,\u201d says John.<\/p>\n<p>The concept ticked a lot of boxes \u2013 channel development, brand-building, storytelling, customer service, to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBusinesses and tour operators loved it because suddenly their brand and business were being promoted in full colour brochure style with people enjoying the attraction. Plus, it gave visitors the time back in their day with no waiting around for photos to be printed,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>The demand from attractions ramped up fast as Magic Memories resonated with everyone from the customers to the brands, although John notes there was no business plan in those days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing just took off. We started obsessing about how we could evolve the product. We figured we didn\u2019t need to use professionals, given it was simple photography. What if we hired actors or backpackers that love people and could make them smile! More smiles created more transactions, so everyone won and that is still our purpose today \u2013 making people smile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, an opportunity came up to partner with the Sydney Water Park \u2013 the largest of its kind in the world at the time. The partnership was the beginning of international expansion and a change to the model that would see the business flipped upside down for the first time, but not the last.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery ticket sold at the Park included the digital experience of the rides and slides. Instead of the customer paying Magic Memories, the brand partner paid us. It was hugely successful for everyone. The managing director of the Park at the time was Chris Warhurst. He supported us into that strategic partnership and in 2016, became our CEO.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lure of not only creating a successful global business but also learning how to be a better leader saw John sign up for the Icehouse Owner Manager Programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was timely because it forced me to look closely at what further international growth may look like for us and to be ready for it. The Icehouse gave me the chance to take advantage of so many opportunities and connect with a group that remains supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aiming to build on the success of Sydney and in-roads being developed in China, a license was formed in South Africa followed by the chance to trial the model in London. John moved with his family to London for a year, building a team and then eyeing the US with a different lens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than trying to replicate the model in the US, we raised capital and bought the largest competitor including their contracts. We spent five years embedding the Magic Memories culture in the US and now it\u2019s our biggest market,\u201d says John.<\/p>\n<p>When the first news of the pandemic started filtering in, John was skiing in Japan. He heard from a worried fellow traveller that her parents were doctors in Wuhan. With people around them dying, they had left everything and jumped on a plane.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12814 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nzbusiness.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Magic-Memories.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2050\" height=\"780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nzbusiness.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Magic-Memories.png 2050w, https:\/\/nzbusiness.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Magic-Memories-600x228.png 600w, https:\/\/nzbusiness.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Magic-Memories-1920x731.png 1920w, https:\/\/nzbusiness.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Magic-Memories-768x292.png 768w, https:\/\/nzbusiness.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Magic-Memories-1536x584.png 1536w, https:\/\/nzbusiness.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Magic-Memories-2048x779.png 2048w, https:\/\/nzbusiness.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Magic-Memories-400x152.png 400w, https:\/\/nzbusiness.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Magic-Memories-700x266.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2050px) 100vw, 2050px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe acted on the early information and pulled the ripcord \u2013 all our sites were closing around the world. We were at about $170 million revenue, and racing towards zero faster every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team was downsized from 1,850 to 15 with only developers and relationship managers kept on, at reduced salaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a harsh reality, but we had to act in a way that kept the lights on for six months to keep the business alive and buy us time to rethink the model.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mapping a contactless way forward and building the unique software required capital. The funding was raised with the help of Roger Sharp who had recently recapitalized Webjet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe developed the software and ordered 400 kiosks from China to satisfy demand from attractions eager to re-open their doors. Our largest global partner offered us 80 new sites as soon as they knew what we could do for them. We managed to get the new model to market with no air travel or testing \u2013 but we did it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John says the future is exciting with new tech, continually adding value to the business and, what would appear to be, boundary-less opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe capital allowed us to kickstart a model that is direct to mobile. We now work with marketing teams, we can focus on any branded experience, connecting customers to those brands in a fresh way, using fun, personalised content experiences. We might see 70 million people to our attractions this year and if we\u2019re successful with new product extension technology, that number could rise to over 200 million over the next three years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queenstown-based Magic Memories has emerged as the leading global player in the personalised digital experience market.
