TO THE POINT
Helping you create and share your story to make an impact
where it matters most
Wow, what a year we have all had so far. Can you say “unprecedented times” ten times fast?
We feel lucky to be in New Zealand, and proud to see what our island nation has achieved. And even though the path still looks a little unsteady, we remain in a much better position than most of the world.
We hope that you have been coping as best as possible - finding silver linings and seizing positive change.
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO
At Spear, we are passionate about celebrating individuals and organisations, and the innovative ways they are supporting those around them, and contributing to the fabric of this country.
This year we have taken on five additional clients. Below in the email is a selection of images which capture the essence of recent work in our key areas: water; equal opportunities; ‘Kiwi’ success stories; accessible pathways to employment; sensible infrastructure to sustainably support growth; primary industries which provide us with quality food and our beautiful farming landscapes. Enjoy the pics below, and please read on after!
SPEAR WORKING WITH YOU
More than before organisations need to win trust to gain momentum, and telling your story is a critical part of this. We would love the opportunity to help you.
To see what we have achieved for our admirable clients take a look here. Or check out our Instagram to get a flavour of work we have done.
Please do get in touch, we are based on The Terrace in Wellington and would love to shout you a coffee, something a little stronger, or even meet via Zoom!
We love to korero so even if you just want to catch up, feel free to get in touch.
Onwards & Upwards,
Ruth & Lucy

Spear helping others
We love to use our skills to give a helping hand to others and do pro bono work where we can.
Recently, we helped raise awareness of fundraising to support communities effected by floods that devastated parts of Rwanda in May - right when COVID hit. This was through Muraho Trading Company (MTCo), owned by Lucy's husband, Gaudam and his brother Karthick. MTCo runs coffee washing stations which work with coffee farmers in the impacted areas. Sadly, 28 people were killed in the Nyabihu community, and around 350 lost homes, hospitals, schools and their livelihoods. Some incredible companies (including Wellington's Flight Coffee) helped out through a GoFundMe page.
