Ocean Design

Ocean Design carried out a re-brand, purpose statement for my company Hometech I owned at the time. It was an awesome experience and Ocean really nailed it. Not only were we thrilled with the end result, it helped clarify what our business was really about and focus our direction forward. Ocean had a number of experts in-house and it really was a great team effect. I have since recommended Ocean to other companies and it appears more and more companies are using Ocean in view of their fine reputation and 30 years of experience.

I recently embarked on a project with Ocean Design and I have been extremely impressed with the quality of communication, leadership in thinking, and the professionalism of the end result.I would certainly be happy to recommend the team at Ocean Design Group.

I've partnered with Ocean since 2007 across a wide range of projects and design initiatives from branding, logo design, presentation development, way-finding design in new building, employee engagement materials, roadshows, communications strategies and story telling. The team is fantastic to work with: proactive, intuitive, go the extra mile, gets to know the business and adds value at every step. Highly recommend.

Ocean have been an exceptional brand strategy partner for us at Datamars. This is a complex business with heavy demands on short timelines and Ocean has delivered fantastic work on time, every time. Plus they really are the nicest team to work with in agencyland!

We've been working with Ocean for over 7 years! The Ocean presentation on our brand made the hairs on our neck stand up and completely aligned the company. The teams dedication to understanding the companies purpose, their people and their vision I believe is unparalleled.

I couldn't recommend Ocean Design more highly. The team has been incredible in transforming our thoughts into a clear story and a strong visual identity - creating a clear brand platform for us to go forward on. Ocean provided us with clear communication throughout the process and bet all our deadlines.We can't wait to share the outputs with the world, and look forward to working with Ocean going forward.

It's hard to put into words how talented and thoughtful the Ocean Design team are at what they do. They are unassuming in the way they go about their work but the impact and difference they make for clients is word-class. For any agency to still be making waves in the industry for over 30 years shows that the Ocean crew do work that matters. You will not work with a more thoughtful and creative bunch of people.

We've worked with the team at Ocean for a number of years now, and we keep coming back, because they always understand the essence and life of what we're trying to achieve. They take the time to listen and understand, and through careful planning and process they always deliver more than what we were expecting. The team have consistently been patient and thoughtful, especially with project delays and changes of direction. As a not-for-profit organisation our budget is always tight and resources few, but the guys at Ocean always fit in with us and work to our needs, delivering skills, expertise and passion in all they do. We love working with Ocean, they know us inside out and really care about their work.

Social Service Providers Aotearoa worked with Ocean Design recently and as a result we are soon going to be launching our refreshed visual identity. The Ocean team went above and beyond, we are so grateful for the amazing mahi Ocean has delivered for us. As a membership-based peak body for community-based social services around the motu working with children, rangatahi and whānau, having a visual identity that is engaging and inclusive, and which reflects the essence our mahi and purpose is crucial. The Ocean team are immensely talented across a range of creative disciplines and our refreshed visual identity meets our brief and more! We have been thrilled with the way that Ocean demonstrated āta whakarongo in their mahi with us, and with the creativity and vibrancy that they have brought forward through their designs, from concept to delivery. The other aspect of the mahi Ocean has undertaken with us that we are particularly appreciative of is the grounding in maatauranga me tikanga Māori, and the way that whakawhanaungatanga has been deeply woven into how we have worked together. Ngā mihi nunui to the Ocean team for the care, thoughtfulness and creative nous we have received.

Ocean really know branding. Their process got right to the core of our purpose and culture and then developed a brand identity from that. Their creative team gave us a great range of visual options. I can highly recommend using Ocean for building a brand platform to grow a business from.
