about us
Welcome to Hot. We are a group of highly creative, vibrant thinking
individuals that love to work with vibrant thinking clients to create
compelling brands and emotive design communications. Since 2001 we
have been influencing and inspiring New Zealand businesses, from small
start ups to large blue chip.
We do all the usual things agencies do, brand, advertising, design, interactive
communications. We also do all the insight mining, onion peeling, brand layering,
rocket launching, client including stuff you would expect from an agency – we
just haven’t put up the pretty flow charts. What drives our business is
our talented team who have the knack for finding that one bright idea that shines
out from the rest and gets noticed. Lets face it, if the idea doesn’t change
buyer behaviour, then the idea was not bright enough and you're back to where
you started.
At the heart of our business is the belief in finding the true essence of a brand.
Take a look at Thureon in our portfolio and
google them. From total obscurity, they have launched onto the world platform
with a huge amount of air space dedicated just to their very name and all this
only 4 weeks after going to market on a fairly small budget. We go deep to find
emotional and core values so that we can create vibrant strategic visions allowing
a brand to become a living breathing entity in its own right. Consumers have
long memories. If a brand story is not well conceived and crafted, the brand
story will die and your consumer's affair with the brand along with it.
To get the job done, we sweat the small stuff. We stick to deadlines, we do the
fiddly bits and no matter if it's a small budget, a big budget or pull it out
of thin air budget - we bend over backwards to help our clients achieve their
goals.
We work comfortably alongside the big agencies and within existing brand guidelines,
giving the kind of service, pricing and quality finished artwork that gets lost
in the big wheels. We reckon we can supply a vibrant solution to just about any
task thrown at us, on any budget. So if you have a bright idea, or need
a bright idea - give us a call. You're just the kind of people we love to talk
to.
