Does print still matter?

When we spend so much of our day looking at screens, physical print has the power to make us pause. It can be tactile, memorable and highly effective - especially alongside digital marketing as part of a connected customer journey.

We look at five reasons print still has an important role to play.

Discover why print marketing still matters, with NZ insights on trust, attention and how print and digital can work better together.

There’s a big difference between having someone do your marketing and having a marketing team genuinely become part of your business.

For Apollo - Your 12V Specialist that’s the kind of partnership we’ve built.

Apollo had already established a strong reputation and a growing business. But like many successful owner led businesses, finding the time and internal resource to give marketing the consistent attention it needed was another story.

That’s where we came in.

Over the years, we’ve worked alongside Duncan, Helen and the Apollo team across brand, website, strategy, content and digital advertising - creating a more cohesive marketing presence that can grow with the business.

And while we could tell you what that partnership looks like from our side, it’s much better coming from the people we work with.

Our new website is live!

Over the years, our business has evolved. We’ve refined our services, strengthened our brand and grown with purpose. It was time for our website to catch up.

So, we’ve launched a new one.

It brings our thinking, work and approach together in one clear place, better reflecting who we are today and where we’re heading next.
Because when a business evolves, its website needs to evolve with it. It should clearly communicate what you offer, build confidence in your brand and help turn interest into action.

If your website no longer reflects the business behind it, it might be time for a re-design.

Take a look around. We’d love to know what you think.

Some campaigns are about generating leads.

Others are about creating lasting change.

We're incredibly proud to have partnered with Northland Kindergarten Association (NKA) on Talk With Children. A campaign encouraging parents, caregivers and whānau to embrace the power of everyday conversations with our youngest tamariki.

The first five years of a child's life are critical for language, learning and connection. Sometimes, it's the simplest moments - chatting while making dinner, driving in the car or walking to the park - that can have the biggest impact.

This campaign is a reminder that every conversation counts.

We're proud to have helped bring this important initiative to life and support a message that will make a difference to families for generations to come.

It's not every day the Prime Minister watches a video we created.

We had the privilege of being part of a special day celebrating ReSport Charitable Trust and the incredible impact they're making, while also having the chance to meet New Zealand's Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon.

We've proudly supported ReSport since the very beginning, so seeing their story shared on a stage like this was a pretty special moment.

As for Trav's first question during the photo...
"What razor do you use?" 😂

Thankfully, the Prime Minister had a great sense of humour.

A huge congratulations to JP, Sharon and Joey. The work you're doing is making a real difference, and we're incredibly proud to be part of the journey.

Here's to what's next. The best is still to come.

Is your marketing running on strategy… or just ticking off a to do list?

We see it all the time - businesses investing in websites, social media, Google Ads and SEO without an overall direction.

The best marketing starts with purpose. Once you know where you're heading, every channel works harder.

Is your marketing driven by a plan, or are you making it up as you go?

If you're ready for a clearer direction, we'd love to have a chat.

Stories have the power to inspire action.

We recently had the privilege of filming this video for North Haven Hospice's A Taste to Remember campaign, helping bring the campaign to life and highlighting the local businesses coming together to support hospice care in our community.

If you're a Northland business looking for a meaningful way to support your community while aligning your brand with an organisation making a real difference, we'd encourage you to get involved.

And if you're a local coffee lover, visiting one of the participating cafés is an easy way to show your support and help North Haven Hospice continue to provide care and support to people at the end of life, and their whānau, throughout our community.

We're proud to share the new Ngātiwai Trust website - a digital platform designed to strengthen connections with whānau, beneficiaries, and stakeholders.

Working alongside the Ngātiwai Trust team, we had the privilege of supporting this important kaupapa through the development of a refreshed digital presence, strategic communications planning, and brand guidance to create a cohesive experience across channels.

The result is a website that reflects the Trust's vision, values, and commitment to its people, while providing a strong foundation for future engagement and communication. The exceptional imagery provided by the Ngātiwai Trust team plays a key role in bringing their stories, people, and places to life throughout the site.

A huge thank you to the Ngātiwai Trust team for trusting us with this kaupapa. It has been an honour to contribute to a project that will help support and strengthen connections for years to come.

PDC has evolved over the years, and so has the meaning behind our name.

Today, PDC stands for Purpose Driven Creative - a reflection of who we are, what we believe, and how we work.

We believe the most effective marketing starts with purpose. Before the strategy, before the design, before the campaign, there needs to be a clear reason why.

Purpose provides direction.
Creativity brings it to life.

Together, they drive meaningful marketing that connects, engages, and delivers results.

That's the thinking behind every project we take on and every partnership we build.

Purpose Driven Creative.
Not just our name. Our way of working.
