As a previous international brand manager for some of the world’s leading brands, and having worked with some of the world’s leading advertising agencies, it has been a pleasure to find such talent in Mt Maunganui. V Marketing have been an integral part in transforming The Thorne Group from an established family building company to one of Tauranga’s leading innovative building companies; reflecting a strategy that the next generation wanted to bring to the company. 

V Marketing played an integral part in developing the strategy, and amongst other projects developed the marketing material for Urban Ridge (a large housing development in the Tauranga region) and rebranded the building division of the group under The Thorne Group.  It was essential that the two companies retained their individual brand identities whilst still complementing each other.  We tabled a difficult brief; of which l am pleased to say the results speak for themselves. Urban Ridge is currently one of the most successful developments in the region with 10 house and land packages either sold or under contract in the last 3 months. Further, our building company (The Thorne Group) is expanding, despite the current economic climate.    

Our clients consistently comment on the quality of our marketing material, which is always a good balance between excellent design and communicating our key messages.   I would not hesitate to recommend V Marketing, and l would be happy to discuss this in more detail should anyone require more information.
