This Thursday we’re hosting the first of a small series of short creative talks.

Three people.
Three different practices.
Three short talks.

‘A Creative Hour’ is literally that - a 60 minute, end-of-day session with people we admire sharing how they think, make, and approach their craft.

It’s not a big production. There will be no long presentations. Just honest insight into creative work. And time for kōrero.

The first one is this Thursday, 7 May
5.30–6.30pm (doors open 5pm)
Ocean Design, Wellington

We are lucky to have three very different perspectives to start the ball rolling:

// Andy Tauafiafi — tattoo and fine artist, founder of
// Winnie Solomon — fashion designer, founder of Winnie Catherine
// Erin Leigh Todd — cofounder, Baron Hasselhoff chocolate

Space is limited, so a max 30 people.
RSVP essential.

If you’d like to come along, flick us a message.

PS. There may be chocolate.

Last Thursday we hosted our first B Corp event, celebrating our certification and all things B Corp. Our event ‘This Way Forward’ was our contribution to the global ‘B Corp month’.

We promised our manuhiri an Ocean twist and so it was fun to surprise them with crayons on a Thursday evening!

Featuring a panel of leaders from Method Recycling, Runn, and Write, we discussed the certification process, good business practices, and how to drive progress.
Guests expressed themselves through drawing, notes, diagrams, quotes, and questions creating a buzz of creativity.

Thanks to all who joined us – you made it such a cool event. Stay tuned for ways to share this experience with the wider B Corp community.

Happy B Corp month, everyone!

Te urunga ake o te rā
The dawning of a new day

We are thrilled to announce that Matt Everitt (Ngāti Ranginui) and Rhueben Meredith , have joined Ocean’s Blair Mainwaring as business partners. The addition of Matt and Rhueben will better equip the agency for telling multicultural brand stories in contemporary Aotearoa.

Matthew and Rhueben have been with Ocean for a number of years and have built reputations as leading exponents in the complementary areas of digital design and crafting brand identities.
