We’re all about learning, honesty, independence, and playing our butts off. Consider us the creative agency for people who believe there’s no “i” in busness and creatvty.
Peter Woodward
Managing Director
Born with a glove in his hand. Working as a web developer for over a decade, Peter was used to seeing the world in binary. As he fell in love with the world of business, he found that not all solutions can come from 1’s and 0’s. From old-school strategies to new technologies, he keeps our clients open to all possible dimensions.
Sam Archibald
Creative Director
Voted most entertaining off-the-bench by his minor league baseball team, Sam tries his hardest to improve on that one drawing his mother saved from preschool. Whether you’re making skate videos or building PowerPoints, he’s realized the best way to make an impression is to be honest, amusing, and most of all, yourself.
Jess Shortt
Digital Director
When she’s away from her desk, Jess is often found behind home plate, where “just keep it in front of you” is more than catching advice. From wild pitches to big ideas and the occasional digital curveball, she brings a sharp eye, steady hands and development experience to turn complex challenges into smart, practical solutions.
Monica Hoffman
Strategy Director
Monica Hoffman is a brand strategist with 15 years of experience helping institutional and heritage brands compete in contracting and crowded markets. Her agency grounding comes from account management and strategy support at Saatchi & Saatchi, where she worked on Telecom New Zealand (now Spark) through the arrival of mobile, helping reposition an institutional brand seen as old-fashioned into one that teenagers, its critical new audience, could relate to. Her work there also included quarterly international brand and marketing reviews across the global telco.
No tryouts necessary
While we have no official positions available, whether you’re seasoned or a rookie, we’re always happy to talk to good people.
