It all begins with an idea.
For us it started as an idea for a magazine to promote our piece of paradise, and a quarter of a million words, a few bruises and way too many late nights later it has grown into several magazines, a museum exhibition, design, editorial and branding services, print and digital solutions, and so much more.
So maybe you want to launch a business, maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more, maybe you have a creative project to share with the world, or maybe you need us to help your organisation or business look good and tell a story; whatever it is, we can help make it a reality because we’ve been there. So scroll on down to see how we can get the ball rolling with our creative services.
Take your business to the next level.
marketing. branding. websites. packaging.
Whether you’re a start up business that needs a logo, a website and some packaging design, to an existing business that could do with a refresh and a marketing makeover or advertising material and social media content, we can help from start to finish. We know starting a business can be daunting and we know that finding time to get things done once your business is up and running can be a struggle, so let us take the stress out of the creative side of things - we have design, imaging, copywriting and editing, content creation and packaging design skills all under one roof - and we’re happy to chat at no cost or obligation.
Tell your story.
writing. editing. photography. publishing.
Got a story to tell? A book in you? Does your business need a newsletter. Got an idea for a publication? Or do you need social media content, a website or placed advertorial. We’ve been telling stories for years through our flagship magazine and other publications, including an inflight magazine and books, so we’ve got everything you need to go from concept to finished article: we can write and edit your text, supply design and imagery, get everything made up into a print-ready file, and talk you through all the options to make it look great, from binding to paper stock. We love print - check out some of our publications to see just how much!
It all starts with an idea.
We started Plenty Magazine to showcase all the cool creatives the Bay of Plenty has to offer - from musicians and film makers and writers, to great business start-ups, inventors and innovators. We’ve written about them, worked alongside them, joined them on their journey and helped them get their ideas from the drawing board to reality. We love the creative process - and we’d love to help you on your creative journey; give us a free no obligation call, we’d love to hear what you’re working on.
After some creativity?
marketing. design. copywriting. kōrero. social media.
From annual reports, exhibitions and installations to flying billboards, advertising copy, design, packaging and specialist print jobs, we’ve done it for a range of clients. We love making our clients look good, with the professional results they need, because today’s market is tough. We specialise in fresh, cutting edge design, writing not cutting and pasting, thinking different, and making the creative process not just stress-free, but the rewarding experience it should be. So to get yourself standing out from the crowd get Plenty Creative on your side - we’re here to help.
The process
1. Let’s chat
Catching up in person or via a phone call to chat over your project is 100% complimentary, obligation free.
At the heart of each project we undertake lies the vital role of discovery. Our aim is to comprehend your present brand, the impetus and aspiration behind it, your commercial or organisational objectives, intended audience, and the context of the market and/or message. We’re here to listen because that is going to make it easier for all of us! And we love a project - small or large - that’s why we do what we do.
2. Let’s define
The driving force behind all project development is not just the starting point of strategy, but it’s inspiration. With insights gleaned from the discovery phase, we’ll work to establish your messaging platform, brand personality, and visual style, and then we’ll start coming up with concepts and ideas for you to consider and to be tuned before we start putting things together.
3. Let’s design
After a well-defined conceptual direction is established, we proceed with creating your messaging and visual identity. Copywriting, editing, imaging, design, branding are all done in-house at Plenty Creative so we keep costs down, and we can also help you think about how to maximise your investment with things like social media content.
4. Let’s deliver
Although creativity is a wonderful thing, as a business owner you must balance it with practicality - trust us, we’ve been there! So we value both time and budget constraints and strive to accommodate both while making sure the delivery process - whether it’s going to print or readying files for wider use - is as stress free as possible. And again, we’ll keep an eye out for how you can maximise what we’ve done for you and where you can save expenditure.
