At Activate, we Dream, Draw, Design and Deliver effective marketing material to clientele across both New Zealand and Australia.
We are the graphic design and website team behind many multi-award winning iconic businesses. Yet we remain a small, nimble group of professionals and we keep our costs well below our competitors of equal calibre. We are also a 100% Kiwi business who believe in consistent quality therefore we do not outsource your work to third world countries.
Our Portfolios
Logo design, graphic design, branding, website and print materials for Better Kitchens in Christchurch. Outstanding, your work is just brilliant, you branded us so precisely, our game is on! Thank you. - Aaron Hooper, Director betterkitchens.co.nz
We can convey the values, industry and personality of your businesses in a simple, attractive and unique brand.
Unlike some design company portfolios, these logos were commissioned by REAL businesses that are successful in New Zealand and Australian marketplaces. We think that means something. Better Brands = Better Business

"We are the graphic design and print production team behind the New Zealand Red Cross. We have just received the first delivery of the new Essential Emergency Care Manual with its new look and feel. In short, it is fantastic. The quality of the publication is miles ahead of the ‘older’ versions. The quality is absolutely what I was looking for. - Graham Wrigley, National Education & Training Manager, New Zealand Red Cross."

Graphic Design
"A designer knows they have achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add but when there is nothing left to take away."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

All design work is done by our own team and is not out-sourced to another company here or overseas. You are in good hands with Activate, we have a lot of design experience and we know what we are doing.
Professional graphic design is essential for anyone serious about marketing their business. Good graphic design has nothing to do with knowing how to drive the latest software programs. It is the ability to develop a cohesion between aesthetics and functionality to communicate a message.
GOOD DESIGN:
- Fulfills it's function
- Respects it's materials
- Is suited to method of production
- Combines these in imaginative expression

(and Australia) using our online systems.
Letterheads, Business Cards, Brochures, Posters, Flyers, Vouchers, Magnets, Pens, T-Shirts, Docket Books, Compliment Slips, Presentation Folders, Display Cards, Stickers, Notepads, Calendars, Envelopes

The A-Team
Activate Design is a compact, specialised group of individuals with unique skills and strange hairdo’s… much like the original A-Team. Our rag-tag Activate team includes our gung-ho designers, our slightly mad yet enthusiastic programmers, and our planning braniacs to ensure that every website or project we undertake is completed to the highest specfications and to our client’s complete satisfaction.
Each member of our team has something special to offer, whether it be project planning and problem solving, copywriting, logo design, branding and website design, software development for websites and smartphone applications, search-engine-optimisation to increase website rankings and traffic or juggling print schedules so you get those business cards you have run out of.
So we are not a crack commando unit delving into International espionage and wanted by the Government, but we are a slick website design company delving into all aspects of website creation, online marketing, design and development and wanted by you, our clients.
