Founded by Jacky James in 2012, we’ve grown to have offices in both Rotorua (led by Jacky) and Tauranga (led by Partner, Meg Jones). While physically located in the Bay of Plenty, we have clients spread throughout New Zealand, and are often in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and other major centres.
We’re a team of like-minded individuals who are passionate about delivering outstanding outcomes for our diverse portfolio of clients, each and every time.
Our company values, vision and philosophy are a direct reflection of the types of organisations we want to inspire.
We’re a team where everyone is involved in projects that make positive impacts for our clients and the communities we live, work and play in. We tell the stories that matter to shape the communities we live in.
At the heart of great communications are people – and that’s the focus of everything we do. Bringing stories of people and their businesses to life and protecting their brand when it matters.
