What industries does The Zoo work with?

We work across a wide range of industries — from construction and trades to education, produce, engineering, and service businesses. What matters more than the industry is the challenge. If there’s a clear goal, a brand question, or a need for better marketing clarity, we’re interested.

Are these projects one-off jobs or long-term partnerships?

Both. Some of the case studies started as a single defined project. Others evolved into ongoing retainers and strategic partnerships over time. We’re comfortable working in stages — and growing with you if it makes sense.

Do you measure results on branding and creative projects?

Yes — but we measure what actually matters. Sometimes that’s organic traffic, enquiries, and conversions. Other times it’s internal clarity, consistency, and stronger positioning in the market. Good branding should create tangible movement — not just look good.

Can you help businesses outside Christchurch?

Absolutely. While we’re based in Christchurch, we work with clients across Auckland, Canterbury, and throughout New Zealand. Most collaboration can happen smoothly online.

How long does a typical branding or marketing project take?

It depends on scope, but most focused projects run between 4–12 weeks. Longer partnerships and retainers are ongoing, designed to adapt as your business evolves.

What these projects have in common

Different industries. Different challenges. Different scales.

What connects them is a shared approach — taking the time to understand the problem properly, asking the right questions early, and designing solutions that work in the real world, not just on paper.

This is where strategy and creativity overlap.
