We are incredibly proud to have partnered with Māia Health Foundation on their fundraising campaign supporting the redevelopment of the Christchurch NICU. Any and all donations will make a huge difference to the families of over 800 newborns who require NICU support at Christchurch Hospital every year.

We delivered a digital upgrade for On the Spot and Trents Wholesale, moving both brands to Storyblok and replacing legacy systems with a flexible, headless CMS.

The result is a faster, smoother experience for customers, alongside a component-based platform that let steams roll out promotions and manage product ranges in real time. A future-ready solution built for the pace of New Zealand’s FMCG and wholesale sectors.

A fantastic afternoon celebrating the launch of the Matatū Women’s Rugby season and Plato’s partnership with the team.

We were proud to host some of our incredible female clients for a long lunch at Hotel Montreal, where we heard from Matatū General Manager Sarah Munro about the vision and future of the franchise, followed by an inspiring Q&A with players Amy du Plessis, Chelsea Bremner and Emma Dermody.

An afternoon filled with great conversation, connection and insight — and an exciting season ahead for Matatū. 🏉✨

Cheers to 11 years for Rebecca Ryder (Business Director) and 5 years with Nina Somin (Digital Designer).

Becs’ journey with Plato has seen her rise to every challenge and really own everything that’s been thrown her way. She’s also a champion of great culture with a personality that lights up the agency.

Nina is one of the names that’s frequently recognised by others in the Plato values channel for being “fast”, “super-fast”, “awesome work”, “epic work”, “massive impact” and “a dream to work with”!

Thanks for being fantastic you two.

We recently partnered with South Port NZ, New Zealand’s southernmost commercial deep-water port, to deliver a digital transformation.

Re-platformed to Storyblok, the new site brings a faster, more secure experience with a headless CMS built for performance. It also makes it easier to deliver essential shipping data and information to the communities that rely on it.

With a component-based editor, the South Port team now has greater flexibility and control, supported by a platform built to grow.

Thirty years. Two iconic Canterbury brands.

We partnered with More FM Canterbury 92.1 to celebrate their 30-year milestone with the Crusaders through "One of the team" launched just in time for the first home game at the new One New Zealand. Scrums, lineouts, and a tagline that says it all: teammates since 1996. 🖤❤️

Mahindra New Zealand set us a clear challenge: build awareness and get Kiwis behind the wheel of the new XUV 3XO.

We delivered an integrated campaign across digital, outdoor, print and influencer to drive both reach and performance, targeting 69% of 20–39-year-olds and 500 leads per month. With Daisy Dagg on board as an ambassador, we built trust through consistent content.

From June to February, the campaign generated over 3,000 leads and full audience coverage, driving both brand growth and real demand.

Last year we rolled out BB Dollars for our longtime partners, Bargain Blinds & Curtains. The goal was simple: drive repeat purchases and increase customer spend.

12 months on, it's gone well beyond expectations: 142% above revenue target, and repeat purchasing up 85%.

More customers are coming back, getting stuck in, and genuinely backing the brand. That's what getting loyalty right looks like.
