The Team

John Wheatley

Director

It takes more than a stroke of good luck to become a leader in the field. After 30 years of experience, partnering with some of the country’s most recognised brands, John’s rightfully earned his place at the head of the table. His scope of expertise covers everything from creative set-up, brand management and marketing consultancy to production and end-to-end project sales management. But for John, it’s the projects that he partners on from grassroots that spark the most joy. When he’s not making waves on-site, John can be found on the green, or exploring the outback in his camper.

Jess Kidd

Director

Marrying creative with management isn’t everyone’s forte, but it’s certainly hers. Jess has been in the property game a long time, working for nationally recognised real estate groups and private developers client-side, before jumping ship into creative management almost ten years ago. Since, Jess has honed her knack for strategy and nuanced brand language, helping clients make magic with clever solutions tailored to meet their goals. The best part? Bringing it all to life. A sought-after copywriter, when Jess isn’t in the hustle of a deadline, she’s travelling the globe or at the beach with her young family in her hometown of Auckland.

Tony Ma

Director

Tony’s passion for design is relentless. A creative Guru, if you will. With 20 years clocked in visual communications, it’s his relentless drive to craft compelling and memorable brands through clever design that drives him. Holding a degree in Design and Marketing, and known as a Mentor to designers in the field, Tony’s style is highly refined and well-rounded, evidently crafted with the finesse of conviction and experience. The other Kiwi in our team, Tony spends his free time with his family travelling, eating, and working through his whiskey collection.

For brands worth remembering. It all starts with a conversation.
