Decades of Perspective, Across Cultures
For over 35 years we’ve worked across global markets and cultures, uncovering what makes brands resonate from Auckland to Abu Dhabi, Singapore to Zurich. This breadth of experience shapes the way we think; as strategists, designers, and storytellers; bringing cultural depth and international perspective to every challenge.
Our method
Shape the strategy
By articulating a brand’s ethos, beliefs, and essence. This is the foundation upon which enduring brands are built.
Craft the design
Through conceiving brand identities that communicating the convictions of an organisation. These identities become symbolic of everything that a brand stands for.
Shift the experience
Of brands by creating beautiful touchpoints that move people. This is what catalyses change, alters perceptions, and brings brands to life.
What we do
-
Every brand has a blind spot. We work with leadership teams to reveal what others can’t see; mapping competitors, defining the challenge, and clarifying the transformation needed. The result: a shared vision of the opportunity ahead, the size of the prize, and a team aligned to go after it.
-
Strategy is where difference begins. We have helped over 260 brands define their brand’s purpose, DNA, and position in the market. We craft stories with a voice and messages that resonate across every corner of the business. From vision to narrative, this is where belief takes shape.
-
Embedding the brand ethos and encouraging buy in across the whole company is critical in delivering a seamless customer experience. We help companies align their brand ethos with their people, ensuring every team member feels valued and understands their role in delivering the brand promise.
-
We transform everyday language into memorable stories. From product names that capture essence, to biographies that reveal character, and editorials that inspire reflection—every word is carefully crafted on brand, leaving a lasting impression.
-
Design isn’t decoration; it’s strategy made visible. Over the years, we’ve helped brands of all sizes use design to forge stronger customer connections. We honour heritage, elevate difference, and bring stories to life across every medium. From marks to experiences, we design with intent; and with endurance.
-
Even the best ideas can be overlooked if they’re not told well. We help companies shape investor decks and growth narratives that marry strategic clarity with design impact; stories that raise capital, and move markets and minds.
-
We transform brand experiences by creating distinctive touchpoints that move people. This sparks change, shifts perception. We bring brands to life through packaging, videos, wayfinding, internal communication and more.
-
We build digital experiences that mean business. From start-ups to global players, we design and deliver purposeful digital solutions; working with specialist developers and analysts to bring strategy to life online.
-
Innovation begins with unmet needs. We uncover the gap between what people want and what companies deliver, translating insights into products, services, and experiences that create lasting value.
-
Brands aren’t born once. We stay connected beyond launch, helping clients keep momentum, spark new initiatives, and ensure their brand never loses its edge. Because in a world of increasing sameness, creativity is the last unfair advantage.
