Hello There

the elevator Pitch

Actually. we don't have an elevator. We have a roller door.

And behind it we strategise, dream, create, innovate, problem solve, and craft. 

Augusto is a new kind of creatively led, humanity obsessed company, that believes great brands are built on compelling stories. So we focus on the craft of storytelling.

We create provocative ideas that live within advertising, entertainment, and technology. We've been called an ad agency, a branded content company, the advertising model of the future, and a bunch of dreamers.

Truth is, we're a bit of each.

In this multi channel world companies need innovative ways to connect with their audience. And that's where our exceptional team of writers, directors, designers, editors, and producers, can help.

A mobile app, a tv series, branded content, a billboard, a documentary, motion graphics. What do these things have in common? To traditional media makers, absolutely nothing, but to us they're one and the same. They're all moments of truth that define a brand.

And through them we turn brands into stories, and consumers into fans.

TEAM WORK

AUGUSTO PEOPLE

Finding the right folks to fill the swivel chairs in a tight knit company that treasures its  working enviroment as much as we do is essential, and we think we've done pretty darn good.

We have filled the edit suites with people who are masters of their dark art yet know how to converse with people and aren't averse to daylight.

We have creative designers who never drop a ball, all whilst swapping recipes with clients and their music playlists with the rest of us.

And our production crew are passionate film makers who don't have an ounce of ego to go with their brilliant skills.

It makes coming to work each day a pleasure.

Jo Vegar joins us as an Account Manager.  Having worked with adidas for 8 years, Jo most recently headed up the Sports Marketing Department for adidas NZ (wrangling All Blacks like a boss).  Prior to that, she was in the Global Sports Marketing Team in Amsterdam.

Monique Nielsen is our new Line Producer.  She's just finished up on Short Poppies and has worked at loads of different production companies - 3rd Party Productions, TVNZ and even worked on Shortland Street so we're very lucky to have her!

In the motion graphics department, meet Tom McCarten - he came on board to help out with a fancy AIG Infographic and we were so impressed with his skills that we wouldn't let him leave.  Well, we let him out for food and water occasionally.

Currently we have Mr Jon Wild swimming in our pool of directors - having worked on the hilarious 2012 Red Nose Day campaign and NZ's Next Top Model, he knows funny AND good looking - great combo for Augusto!  Beautiful belly laughs all around!

And last but not least -- Lara Marshall is our new Production Assistant.  After blitzing South Seas and being a brilliant PA on our comedy series Short Poppies, we have lured her in with the promise of fringe glamour!

So make sure to say hi when you next pop in - mines a flat white, and Penny likes a long black!  Don't ask Leon though - he's invented his own coffee, a 'Shocker' (really!) which is a short black and chocolate powder... make up your own mind on that one!
