A brand agency with a big heart.

We create & launch brands for clients who want to make a positive impact.

Coles & Co is passionate about creative work that improves the bottom line & helps build a better tomorrow.

Whether your marketing goals include empowering people, caring for the planet, or both, our award-winning team will bring your brand story to life in a compelling way.

Partner with us to rebrand, create a new brand or launch a brand to today’s conscious consumers.

Founded & run by creatives who care.

Set up by award-winning creative director Jon Coles, Coles & Co is a values-driven agency. These values include integrity, kindness & what we simply call ‘being a good human’.

The ‘& Co’ part is commercial artist Devoney Scarfe aka Devoney Bakes, along with several specialists who pull up a chair as required.

Our team loves making things, sharing delicious food (including Devoney’s decorative pies) and working with good humans.

Coles & Co likes to partner with organisations that have a healthy vision of the future - for their business, staff, customers & the world we want our kids to live in.

Meet Jon & Devoney

Work closely with a switched on team.

Coles & Co has the award-winning talent & experience to deliver big agency work - but with the service & speed a boutique agency offers.

Our model is collaborative, so you’ll work closely with us and get a real sense of ownership of your project.

We’re run by creatives, not suits. You’ll have direct comms with senior people close to the creative work & fewer other staff to deal with.

Coles & Co scales to suit & a bespoke team of brand specialists will be assembled to work on your project.

Rebranding to help students move ahead

To help make vocational training more appealing to young people, we created a new brand identity & design system for NZ’s biggest private polytech, NZMA. This included street-style photography, videos, web design, campaigns, signage & clothing for every new student.
