WHAT WE DO

Partners in life as well as work, Lee and Brendan have been working as a creative team for almost 20 years. Advertising and marketing? We’ve done it all – online, print, billboards, direct marketing, displays, B2B, and promotional collateral. Remember the “charity muggers” who would smilingly approach you in the street and ask you to donate? Yeah, we did them. Sorry.

Branding? We are naming ninjas and style guide gurus. Are you using an unapproved colour or being inconsistent with logo placement? Stop it! Charter airlines, accounting firms, nightclubs, dayclubs, restaurants, coffee shops, office spaces, spas, and festivals have all benefited from our confident eye for better brands.

We got married at a drive-through ceremony in Las Vegas while our witness breast-fed her baby in the back of the car. This is who we are – playful but allergic to fuss or drama. We’ve lived and worked around the world and are accustomed to dealing with people from even the strangest corners of humanity’s universe. Creativity and humour are woven throughout everything we do. Your brand is our next obsession.
