Here’s where storytelling meets social impact — campaigns designed to connect, move people, and make a difference.
MINDS FOR MINDS – MEETING OF THE MINDS
What happens when you bring together two incredible sets of minds?
Minds For Minds are a non-prof it organisation attempting to make a global difference to those living with autism. A team of New Zealand’s top scientif ic minds are undergoing research to identify the genetic signatures of a mind affected by autism.
To build awareness and generate donations for this cause, we demonstrated the contrasting perceptions of these two worlds through long copy that alternates between the perspectives of a mind affected by autism and the scientific minds that are studying them

VARIETY – JOSEPH’S LETTER
Variety, the children’s charity, assigned us to raise donations for their Christmas appeal. We crafted a campaign focusing on food insecurity, highlighting that many Kiwi kids are wishing for food this Christmas. Inspired by Variety’s case studies, we featured a real letter to Santa from Joseph, who simply wished for a pavlova.
The small budget campaign exceeded our donation target by 108%, providing more meal vouchers for Kiwi families in need than ever before.

SHINE – NO EXCUSES RADIO CAMPAIGN
There is a strong link between sporting events and physical and emotional domestic violence. We wanted to bring this to the attention of the public to generate both awareness and funding for Shine’s No Excuse’s program, which is dedicated to the rehabilitation of abusers.
To do this we created a radio campaign that demonstrates the severe consequences of a disappointing sporting result. To get our message across, we used the familiar sound of sports commentary as our vehicle, teaming up with well-known rugby commentators to ensure credibility.
