Born in Pōneke, Ambitious Aotearoa is where big-agency experience meets boutique agility. We’ve evolved from digital specialists into a fully integrated partner for brands that like their marketing memorable and measurable. While our roots are digital, our reach spans the entire media landscape, from visual identity to media buying.
Be Curious
Curiosity is at the heart of great creative. Curiosity about brands, curiosity about products and curiosity about people. All successful projects start from a place of understanding. When we work together we will start with a sound brief, our client service team will often write the brief back to you (called a “reverse brief”) for you to sign off. If the project calls for it, we will engage research wherever possible to better understand your audience and their brand perceptions.
Be Endearing
Endearing is about people. When we talk about “humanistic” creative, it’s because we want to create connections that are deeper than simple brand messaging. Advertising and branding can start a conversation, but great creative keeps a conversation going. It reaches consumers on an emotionally engaging level and invites them to engage. Often when we’re discussing creative solutions with you, we’ll talk about how your audience can respond and stay involved in a longer conversation with your brand.
Be Honest
Honesty in our messaging, honest about our work. We like to be honest with you, if something is going to take longer or cost more than you expect, we try to be upfront about that so we can set reasonable expectations together. Advertising agencies talk about universal truths. There’s an old adage, “advertising will only make a bad product fail faster”, we like to think of it this way, tell your audience the truth about your product. Tell them the truth about why they should do or act in the way you want them to, tell them that interesting and truthful thing that sets your message apart from the rest.

Nate
studio coordinatorNate helps us keep the work on track, assigning tasks and handling all sorts of odd jobs in the studio. If you don’t get your timesheets done, Nate’s the one to send you a strongly worded DM about it. Nate takes on a wide range of tasks from organising basic image and changes in client files to providing client service support when needed. He’s got a background in event management and when he’s not working on whatever task has been thrown at him in the last minute, Nate makes use of his Music Management degree in the local Wellington scene.

Art's focus is on UI/UX design but dabbles in everything for brands from print collateral to brochure material, signage and advertising design. Art has a keen interest in motion design and illustration which helps when animating our web banners.
