Meet The Dream Chasers

Meet The Dream Chasers

On the day of our Dream Chasers campaign shoot on the pristine Seven Mile Beach in Gerroa, New South Wales, we caught a few moments with brand friends and campaign stars Ajok Marial and Juay Kennedy. Energised by a dramatic backdrop of brooding clouds and crashing waves, Ajok and Juay shared their intimate insights into how they’re resetting for the year ahead, the greatest lessons they’ve learnt over the past few months, and the experience of shooting our latest campaign with MAISON de SABRÉ’s creative team. 

 

11am with Ajok Marial

 

MDS: What opportunities does the new year present to refresh your personal values and perspectives?
Ajok: I don’t know yet. We live in an unpredictable time. The fact that I get to be alive is the greatest opportunity.

 

MDS: What about your perspectives on the world?
Ajok: Things will never be the same again. We just have to adapt to the changes and be open to change.

 

MDS: What is the greatest lesson you learnt last year that you will take into 2021?
Ajok: To be patient and to trust the process.

 

MDS: Can you describe the experience of being on location shooting the Dream Chasers campaign with MAISON de SABRÉ’s creative team ?
Ajok: The weather on the day definitely highlighted a dreamy vibe. The location was beautiful, very calm and peaceful. The creative team were easy to get along with and everyone was kind.

 

MDS: How would you describe the Dream Chasers campaign outcomes and imagery? Do you have a favourite shot?
Ajok: The outcomes and imagery definitely captured the dreamy scenery. My favourite shot so far is the bag out in the air with my hands reaching out to the sky. It really captures a surreal moment that anything can inspire you to be creative and tap into your spirit of discovery.

 

MDS: What things will you do differently in 2021?
Ajok: To use my time wisely and to make time for things that I love.

 

MDS: What colour from MAISON de SABRÉ’s palette do you connect with most strongly and why?
Ajok: Pink Lily. It represents softness, love, warmth and understanding to me. I’m on a journey of self discovery at the moment to love myself and others around me. So the pink connects with me the most.

 

MDS: In what ways will you ‘Make Your Mark’ this year?
Ajok: To do what I said I was going to do, regardless of what is happening around the world.

 

MDS: What is one dream you are chasing in 2021?
Ajok: To go Skydiving.

 

3pm with Juay Kennedy

 

MDS: What opportunities does the new year present to refresh your personal values and perspectives?
Juay: The new year presents a fresh start. My personal values are to be kinder, more creative, more courageous and to show those close to me just how much they mean to me. I also want to be more spontaneous and go with my intuition.

 

My personal values of last year have changed as they were based around achievement, success, determination and to generate wealth.

 

Last year showed me I’m not in control of so many things but just how fortunate I am and taught me to be more grateful.It gave me perspective of what’s really important in life and therefore changed my personal values. I think these new values will lead to true happiness.

 

MDS: What about your perspectives on the world?
Juay: Well it’s hard to talk about my perspectives without referring to COVID as it was such a big impact. It caused so much sadness and misery but also there were some positives.

I mainly took heart from the drop in air pollution that were the result of the global lockdowns.

 

MDS: What is the greatest lesson you learnt last year that you will take into 2021?
Juay: The greatest lesson I learnt was how quickly things can change. One moment I was in the US chasing my dreams and next thing, I was back on a plane to Australia because of COVID. All my opportunities were taken away from me in an instant. 

 

However, I also learnt just how lucky I was because I was able to get on a plane and head back home to Australia. It made me realise how fortunate I was to live in a country that was not impacted as badly by COVID. I realised, not to take it for granted.

 

MDS: Can you describe the experience of being on location shooting the Dream Chasers campaign with MAISON de SABRÉ’s creative team ?
Juay: Being on location all day with the team was filled with laughs, beautiful sights and some dancing too. The Dream Chasers was the perfect name for the campaign given the dreamy location. The creative team was amazing with every single person being an expert in their own field at the same time combining their skills collectively for an incredible experience and campaign.

 

Also everyone was very fun and energetic all day with a great creative director and photographer who I shared a common love for surfing with and not to mention I got to shoot with the cutest Chocolate Labrador!

 

MDS: What things will you do differently in 2021?
Juay: I want to work on being kinder, more humble and put everything into every opportunity that presents itself. 2020, showed how quickly things can be taken away, so I have to make the most of my opportunities.

 

MDS: What colour from MAISON de SABRÉ’s palette do you connect with most strongly and why? collection do you connect with most strongly and why
Juay: I connect most strongly with Bondi Blue because I spend a lot of time in the ocean and love all the different shades of blue that the ocean provides.

 

MDS: In what ways will you ‘Make Your Mark’ this year?
Juay: I will make my mark by releasing new original music.

 

MDS: What is one dream you are chasing in 2021?
Juay: My one dream is to land a role in a movie or series.
