We're not the new kids on the block, in fact we’ve been working with brands and businesses to solve problems and bring ideas to life since 2003.
Our mission was to educate and challenge the status quo. It wasn’t just about making pretty stuff, either. It was about making an impact and creating unforgettable brand experiences. We blended art and tech with smart thinking to create unique digital experiences in an overlooked medium in the country.
We’ve seen the online industry move from niche to mainstream, and watched media like search, social, big data, machine learning and virtual reality emerge as the industry grows. We’ve honed our strategic skills to near Jedi level and take pride in knowing what works, what doesn’t, and what’ll push the envelope and pay off.
Technology, audiences and talent change constantly and we move right along with them. We don’t just keep up with technology. We embrace it, live it and breathe it. We know what businesses want, where consumers talk and how best to get the results you’re looking for.
Sound good? Let's go.
Sam has vast knowledge of the digital landscape, and knows exactly how to lead us to the most brilliant results possible. She's known for her high standards, honest approach, and the ability to relate and engage with clients. Sam’s love for fashion and gaming has taken a back seat with a hands on toddler now in the mix which is proving to be much more fun and rewarding.
Euge heads up Method's creative and development teams and has a knack for creating the perfect user experience. He really wants to be an astronaut, but spends far too long playing games and surfing the net to make it happen. Luckily, his 14 years of ‘Old Skool' experience leads to fantastic creative output that would be wasted if he were actually in space.
Having run the social media accounts for some of NZ's most recognised brands, Rhian has a knack for creating campaigns and content that connect with fans and drives results.

Tanya knows how to create strong brands having worked on some of New Zealand’s biggest. She thrives on taking this understanding and activating it through the use of digital platforms and technologies. She loves a good spreadsheet (who doesn’t?!) and uses them to keep budgets and timelines running smoothly and efficiently. She has a passion for all things in the creative arts and, in her spare time, you might find her at a music festival, watching a film, or walking a headland to see sculpture.

JC is a passionate gamer who’s intrigued by the way games can have a positive impact on people. This has led him to completing his bachelor in software engineering (game development) at Media Design School. There he found a passion for programming interactive experiences, especially in virtual reality. When he’s not in front of a computer - either playing games or programming, you’ll find JC at the paintball field playing speedball. JC won the Method directors over with his story of how he proposed to his (now) fiancé - by creating a game especially for her.
