Auckland Creative Agency Coles & Co
 
 
 

We help clients make a positive impact in New Zealand and Australia.

Coles & Co is passionate about creative work that improves the bottom line & helps build a better tomorrow.

Whether your marketing goals include empowering people, caring for the planet, or both, our award-winning team will bring your brand story to life in a compelling way. 

Partner with us to rebrand, rethink your strategy or create a campaign that better conencts with your audience.

Founded & run by creatives who care.

Set up by award-winning creative director Jon Coles, Coles & Co is a values-driven agency. These values include integrity, kindness & what we simply call ‘being a good human’.

The ‘& Co’ part is co-founder & commercial artist Devoney Scarfe aka Devoney Bakes, and our passionate team of full-time staff .

We love making things, trying new things and sharing delicious food (including Devoney’s decorative pies).

Coles & Co likes to partner with organisations that have a healthy vision of the future - for their business, staff, customers & the world we want our kids to live in.

 

Work closely with a switched on team.

Coles & Co has the award-winning talent & experience to deliver big agency work - but with the service & speed a boutique agency offers.

Our model is collaborative, so you’ll work closely with our founders and get a real sense of ownership of your project.

We’re run by creatives, not suits. You’ll have direct comms with senior people close to the creative work & fewer other staff to deal with.
