A healthcare revolution

Tend had a brave, singular vision: to revolutionise healthcare in New Zealand and become the country’s largest healthcare provider by 2030. It was an outstanding challenger vision that lead to us partnering on a project spanning strategy and positioning, naming, design and identity.

Breathing life into payment

Westpac

We all know the pain of splitting bills and making payments to friends and family.

Delicious Reimagined

CCA

Baker Halls & Co is a range of crafted fruit syrups founded by food technologist Gerard Hall in 1987.

Drink In The Real

CCA

Deep Spring has been part of Kiwis’ lives for longer than many local brands today. But the explosion in competition that we’ve seen in the drinks fridge over the last few years became a clarion call for the brand.

Nailed It

Fletcher

We worked with Snappy to identify the opportunity to differentiate from the ‘bricks and mortar’ of today’s hardware scene and created a brand DNA and communications approach built around a proper insight: DIY jobs are easy to start, but it’s only when you finish them that you get that real sense of satisfaction.

Experience a Force of Nature

CCA

Voyage is a premium spring water from Te Waihou, the Blue Spring. An exceptional product of the land, it inspired us to create a brand that told the story of the water’s journey, from its beginnings as rain hitting the Mamaku plateau to its reemergence in the spring 56 years later

Complexity to clarity

Seequent

Waging a war on ugly

We have global leaders with ugly beliefs, heroes of the young with ugly behaviours, businesses operating ugly practices, and we consume products containing ugly ingredients. But globally, we’re waking up.

Todd Property

Todd Property Group saw the opportunity to elegantly refurbish their prime rural block into a new luxury residential community.
