EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Cre8ive since 2022. What began as a website project for ENGAGE quickly evolved into a much broader partnership, with Philippa and her team becoming integral to developing and delivering our brand and educational resources. Cre8ive supported us in refining our existing brand identity, aligning it with what would resonate more strongly with our target audiences while maintaining the core essence of the original brand. This included creating a Māori version of the logo and implementing design elements into the resources. They have also designed the educational resources, including manuals and teaching cards for both early childhood and primary school environments. Cre8ive further adapted these resources into multiple languages, including Te Reo Māori, ensuring cultural relevance and consistency across all materials. In addition to design and production work, Cre8ive coordinated and directed multiple photoshoots of kindergartens and primary schools to ensure a kiwi authenticity in the materials. Beyond this, they established and managed our Facebook and LinkedIn presence, create ongoing organic content, liaise directly with printers and suppliers, and ensured every project was delivered professionally and to a high standard. Their ability to manage complex projects end-to-end, while maintaining consistency across our brand and resources, has been incredibly valuable. Cre8ive has become a trusted extension of our team, and we highly recommend them to any organisation looking for a strategic, reliable, and creative partner.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Philipa was a fantastic facilitator who had an amazing way of engaging the entire group and keeping the content interesting. She provided relevant and up to date information. I'm excited to see how I can use her tips to grow the social media of the company I work for!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended a 4 hour training course run by Philippa and it was very informative and helpful. I am very green with Social Media and Philippa was patient and non judgmental. I will be pursuing further assistance from herself and her team. Thanks Philippa.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience completing my internship with Cre8ive Marketing in Dunedin. The team was welcoming, supportive, and genuinely passionate about the work they do. What really stood out to me is how much they care about their clients. They take the time to truly connect with the businesses they work with and show a genuine interest in helping them succeed. Philippa, the director, is incredibly knowledgeable and a true expert in all things marketing. She taught me a great deal about how different areas like web design, SEO, social media, and marketing strategy all work together as one function to deliver the best results. During my internship I gained valuable hands-on experience across these areas, and I’m very grateful for everything I learned. I’d highly recommend Cre8ive Marketing to anyone looking for a professional and dedicated marketing team.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been working with Philippa at Cre8ive Marketing for about a year now and they’ve been absolutely outstanding to deal with. From day one, Philippa has been down to earth, straight-up and genuinely interested in understanding what her customers are trying to achieve, not just selling us a cookie-cutter marketing package. Communication is always easy as, emails and messages get answered quickly, deadlines are met without any drama, and if something needs to shift, they’re flexible and practical about it. Nothing’s a hassle, and they’re consistently on to it with ideas and suggestions that actually make sense for our business. The quality of the work has been top-notch. Every piece of content and every campaign feels well thought through and professionally executed, without losing that local, relatable feel. They manage to balance strategy and creativity really well. If you’re looking for a Kiwi marketing team that’s responsive, real, and produces quality outputs, I’d happily recommend Philippa and Cre8ive Marketing.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Cancer Society Southern team has really valued working with Philippa and the team at Cre8ive. From the outset, their approach was to take the time to truly understand our organisation, our objectives, and what we were trying to achieve, which made a real difference to the quality and impact of the work delivered. Our team found the Cre8ive team an absolute pleasure to work with and so down to earth. Philippa and her team were generous with their time, responsive, and brought a high level of expertise alongside a friendly, practical approach. Being able to deal directly with them for campaign needs has taken significant pressure off our internal team, and we’re already seeing strong early results from Meta advertising. We’re so pleased we reached out to Cre8ive for support. Their ability to manage this work efficiently and add real value has allowed our team to stay focused on our broader priorities. We love working with Philippa and her team and look forward to continuing the partnership and seeing how the results will help us support so many more families with cancer. Highly recommend Cre8ive.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Philippa’s SEO Training Course is both fantastic and genuinely insightful.

You kept everything on track, brought fresh ideas to the table, and guided us through the process with patience and enthusiasm. The results speak for themselves, a beautiful, functional platform that perfectly showcases our community. We’ve appreciated not just your skills, but also your positivity and dedication.

Working with Cre8ive Marketing on the Discover Middlemarch website has been an excellent experience. Initially, we only engaged with Philippa to guide us on what to look for in a website and to help define our goals and key features - she was amazing. We were so impressed that our committee unanimously chose Cre8ive Marketing to develop the site. They understood our vision from the start and delivered a website that captures the character of our town while being modern, user-friendly, and easy to manage. Their communication was clear and supportive throughout, and the finished product has already made a huge difference in how we promote Middlemarch to visitors and our community. We’re thrilled with the outcome and would highly recommend Cre8ive Marketing to anyone looking for a creative, reliable, and professional web team.
