We'd love to say we woke up one morning and had this incredible revelation about starting a cutting-edge brand marketing company. But it simply didn't happen that way.
Bold Horizon is the result of many years of hands-on experience working in, starting up, and running small to medium-sized companies. Over this time we've studied extensively at the University of Hard Knocks, honing our 'street smarts' and deliverability, preparing ourselves to help your company to succeed.
We're a specialist brand marketing company with offices in Hamilton, Tauranga and Wellington. How do we manage to work effectively with clients in so many different industries and spread across the North Island? Read the secret here.
We're a small, but focused team, combining our core competencies to manage your brand marketing programme for results, from start to finish. Our individual skills and areas of expertise complement each other really well, and where we don't have the capability in-house, we engage our network of trusted associates.
Anyway, this is our core team at the moment (we're always growing!)...
Wayne Attwell - Brand strategist, online marketer and avid blogger
"Tactical marketing is rubbish if it doesn't have a decent strategy behind it."
With over 25 years of international marketing experience, Wayne has helped over 200 companies develop compelling brand strategies. His reputation as a no-nonsense marketer that thrives on delivering results is well known, striking fear into the hearts of all tyrekickers and timewasters.
Kay Spencer - Brand strategist
"Integrating all elements effectively is the only path to complete marketing success."
Kay's colourful career has taken her across the globe, honing her strategic marketing skills at a number of large international agencies. Kay has successfully steered some of the best known international brands but has now unleashed her abundant marketing talents on the unsuspecting world of small business.
Janice Roth - Marketing and sales strategist
"Are you brave enough to hear the truth about your marketing?"
She's tough, straight talking and knows her stuff. Janice pulls no marketing punches but has the credentials to back it up. More than 20 years of top-level international marketing experience has given Janice an intuitive understanding of how buying decisions are made and a practical approach to managing client relationships.
Annette Crowther - Graphic designer
"It's not about 'eye candy'- creating effective campaigns that rock is what drives me."
Annette has worked in senior roles both as a in-house designer and in an agency environment, giving her a unique insight into the needs of client and contractor. Her unique creative vision allows her to fully explore her design options, resulting in cutting-edge graphics that deliver better than a pizza guy on commission.
Kristy McCullough - Graphic designer
"It's a real buzz to turn out great graphic design, especially on limited budgets."
Kristy has a wide range of international design experience, having worked for some of the best known ad agencies in Europe and New Zealand. She brings "big agency" capability and specialist skills to the small business market. Damn this chick is good!
Megan Kennedy - Graphic designer
"Enthusiasm, creativity and a love of design - that's me!"
The new kid on the block, Megan has bundles of enthusiasm and a great eye for design. Megan supports our senior designers and plays an important role in 'making things happen' in the studio. Rumour has it she has a bright future as a graphic designer.
Damon Marshall - Website designer
"Several years running my own design studio give me a 'real world' approach to design."
A self confessed genius, Damon's specialised talents include website design, usability analysis and code development, brand creation and graphic design (is he Superman or what?). After 15 years at the University of Hard Knocks, Damo has the 'real world' experience to make a positive difference.
Natasha Hammonds - Traffic & production
"They'd be out of control if I didn't keep them on the straight and narrow!"
Every agency has to have someone who yields real 'power'. At Bold Horizon it's Natasha. Her world renowned organisational skills and endearing style keeps us all busy and heads down (...you should see how much fun we have when she's out of the office).
