Tēnā koutou katoa

We’ve come from places wide and far. Aerana, Irāna, Kōtirana, Ingarani, Tiaina, Hāmene. Aotearoa is our whenua. Tāmaki Makaurau is our home.

We are Marque, a branding, digital and design agency. We’ve been doing this for over 20 years, working with organisations across Aotearoa. 

Tikanga Māori is part of who we are. It locates us, guides our thinking, influences our design and enriches our lives.

Tēnā tātou katoa

 
 

We believe that every New Zealand business or organisation should consider how tikanga Māori could be part of its brand. This should be a standard part of the discussion when developing the brand strategy. However, nothing is mandatory. There’s no script to follow. No prescribed outcomes. No expectations. If tikanga Māori becomes part of a brand’s expression, it must be relevant, authentic, and woven into its fabric. We achieve this with the guidance of our kaitiaki or our clients’ Māori personnel. Inevitably they are affirming and generous with their time and insights.

 

Full Marques

As a branding agency, we cover all the bases – brand strategy, brand design, and brand delivery – and we deliver successful brands across every industry sector.

We’re obsessed about the power of branding, about the aesthetics of design, the beauty of images, the power of words and about our work influencing peoples’ behaviour and how this contributes to growing successful businesses.

As a leading branding and design agency in Auckland, we can bring your vision to life.

Brand Strategy

This is the starting point for any project. A big-picture view of the environment, the market, competition and the company’s goals. It provides a business framework for creating successful and sustainable brands. The same principle applies to any requirement, whether marketing, promotional, digital, content, creative, campaign or communication planning. Our approach is strategic, systematic, thorough and insightful from discovery to delivery.

Brand Design

Design can get you to look at the world in a different way and make you smile. That’s clever design. Design can be shorthand to explain the complex. That’s smart design. Design is the fulcrum that balances function and aesthetics. Then there are the symbols that some mistakenly call design, that confuse, deceive and are devoid of meaning. That’s indulgence.

Brand Delivery

Brands need to be ‘out there’. Promotion showcases and spotlights and puts the brand centre stage. It builds awareness, makes connections, creates loyalty, builds trust, attracts new customers, retains current ones, grows revenue and establishes market leadership.

On the Marque

As leaders in branding, we merge the disciplines of strategy and design to create compelling brands that resonate at every touchpoint. The starting point for any project is uncovering your enterprise’s unique characteristics and understanding your industry's competitive landscape. 

We’re big fans of process. But our process never gets in the way of building relationships and collaboration or at the expense of creativity. We listen, interpret, distil complexity, reveal the brand’s truth and define the brand strategy – the foundation of any successful brand. The next step of the process is brand design – creating a visual expression of your brand and articulating your brand's truth. The final phase is brand delivery. That’s when we liberate your brand to take on the world, to attract and influence customers and surpass your business objectives. 

Contact us today if you’re looking for Auckland’s premium branding and creative agency.

Testimonials

Re-marques

Some of these brands will be familiar. There will be a few you’ve had direct experience with; some are local, and others can be found in the community. Some operate exclusively in Auckland, while other extend their reach across New Zealand and offshore. Each one operates in its discrete sector and is touched by the hand of Marque.
