The University of Auckland needed an identity, design framework, compelling introduction and an overview of the significance and relevance of mana whenua for students.

We created a unique brand identity for the Waipapa Taumata Rau Māori-focussed curriculum content as well as interactive and engaging online journeys for students as a welcome to the course, the University and key information about tangata whenua (Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei) through the 360 degree Powhiri welcome and the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei artefact experiences.

An immersive, student-centric experience

This groundbreaking initiative delivers a unique and immersive learning experience, presenting Māori-focused curriculum content in an engaging way to students from all backgrounds and all walks of life.

Method have been visionary, innovative, engaging, and responsive. They very successfully worked with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei to help produce their story for our students.
