Think+Plan
Watch, Listen, Plan and Deliver.
Our approach to every project is solutions focused, and built on trust with stakeholders. We believe in creating solutions that benefit the whole, and we place a high value on communication to ensure the best service we can. Think well – then communicate and collaborate.
Design+Deliver
90% of anything is execution.
90% of anything is execution – meaning that all the planning in the world doesn’t actually deliver anything, and spreadsheets don’t execute, people do. Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Our culture is centred on execution. It underpins all that we do and is our foundation. We are much more than just the sum of our ideas and we deliver on what we commit to.
About R+D
Māori multidisciplinary, creative agency.
We have been in the creative space for 20 years, working in brand, music, fashion, advertising, festival management, theming for events, product design, sourcing, manufacturing and import, app development, web and software development – and more.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tamawhariua brand development
In researching about your organisation, I looked at a number of things that are part of the environment of your organisation, or of the wider community. I looked into the history of your organisation and the story behind what you do.
I read the notes from various representatives at your marae, and also researched the members of your board. I also looked at the visual representation of other organisations in your field and thought about the right level of status your representation should have.
I gathered that the focus of your organisation in the past today and beyond, is to improve the health, the social status, and the belief of your client base. The purpose of this is to enable your client base to gain access to a future that they will be strengthened to build and develop sustainably as part of an interconnected community.
You want outomes that improve health, vision, thinking, status, wellbeing, self image, reputation and responsibility.
The primary idea I think that represents your organisation is one of connectedness as the very core of what you do; Unity not as an ideal but as a modus operandi in your everyday life; and an outward focus on how you can achieve the best you can for those that are around you.
There’s a sense of courage and self respect and a desire to impact and cut through the corporate haze, to be recognized independently and on your own merits in the local public sector.
The colour pallette is black, white and gold – these colours are by far the most synonymous with prestige and invite trust. I want to stay away from traditional Maori red or corporate blue colours. The designs reference traditional Maori designs but are shifted towards a modern artistic aesthetic.

Provide Platform
► Provide is committed to facilitating efficient and equitable relationships between workforces and work. We do this by empowering both workers and workplaces simultaneously on two levels; individually, so that they may manage their resources as they choose in a manner best for them and; collectively, so that they may build community and pool resources while gaining and sharing knowledge. We carefully and dutifully foster these labour relationships because we believe that eliminating asymmetry between workers and workplaces benefits everyone.
