What we do

We’re a small yet powerful agency in the heart of Auckland and now also in Vero Beach, Florida. With over 25 years’ international experience, we work with clients at home and in the US, to build unforgettable brands and boost sales. And we do it with heart.

That’s right - you won’t just get ‘someone behind a computer’ when you work with us. You’ll get a friendly, nimble team who always puts you first. Clients who’ve been with us for over a decade say we’re creative, honest, affordable and treat them like one of the clan.

We build long term partnerships to help our clients achieve their goals, grow their brands and maintain relevance and consistency in the ever changing landscape.

We know branding is more than just pretty pictures. We know that behind the brand stands a vision, strategy and talented people who deserve to be represented in an authentic, engaging way.

How do we get it right? We LISTEN to your needs and gain a thorough understanding of your business and your marketing challenges. Then we get strategic and creative - ensuring you’re standing proud alongside your new brand, design and marketing communications.

Creative challenges and coffee keep us on the case. We’d love to talk to you about your brand or design needs, so click here for an appointment.

  • The Chinese Chemical Society (CCS) has been working with RedSpark Creative for over a year now, and Ross and his team has helped transform our image to reflect the modern, vibrant scientific society that CCS has become. Starting with our logo redesign, which was tricky as it required hundreds of chemists in China to approve – a process that Ross handled brilliantly, RedSpark has also been a huge asset in the development of our first research journal for the society – designing the issue cover, inside pages, and advertisements (web and print). We simply wouldn't go anywhere else for our design. Ross is creative in his approach, taking abstract and often incoherent information that I throw at him (in both English and Chinese) and quickly synthesizing it into well-designed and coherent pieces. He and his team have taken on a challenge of designing our covers each issue, which involves taking complex scientific concepts/ideas and packaging them into beautiful and scientifically accurate cover images within a week or two. This may sound easy, but it is not! We have been told by our authors that we have some of the best-designed covers in the business. On top of the great design work and reasonable rates, Ross is responsive, friendly, professional, and just great to work with. I can't recommend RedSpark Creative enough!

  • Absolutely fantastic experience working with Ross at RedSpark Creative. He is a master of his trade. He created a brand new logo for our organisation, StarJam, which truly and authentically embodies who we are and what we do. The feedback from everyone, and most importantly, the young people we support, has been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you Ross.
    Kiri David
  • Absolutely love working with this talented team. Ross is an exceptional designer. He completely understands and interprets what we are setting out to say with our Logos and material, delivering outstanding quality work that has performed brilliantly. RedSpark are also true to their quotes - no nasty surprises. I look forward to working with them more in future.

  • Ross created a great logo for Auckland Business Clinic in a very short time frame which met our brief in every way. Totally happy with the outcome. Communication through Angela can only be described as outstanding. I highly recommend working with RedSpark they bought a "spark" to our business.
    Geoff Seton
  • I can't speak highly enough about Ange and the amazing creative her husband produces; what a great team. Ange understood what I was looking for and they delivered on the brief quickly in order to meet my deadline. Ange is simply a delight to partner with; thanks Ange.
    Kayleen Martin
  • Brilliant creative, excellent customer service and communication, great to deal with. Ross is a true professional. Everything is prompt and easy, he comes up with wonderful creative options, we discuss the best solution, and then he seamlessly implements it. And his ideas work! Highly recomended.
    Tony Oldham
  • I worked with Ange & Ross who designed the new branding for my business and they were really great to work with. We had an initial briefing and within a week I was presented with the first proofs and they pretty much hit it out of the park first time! I highly recommend working with the team at Red Spark!
    Luke Dane
  • Excellent experience all round! Their system about researching my business, clientele and competitors, to create my logo was very thorough. An amazingly creative team! The job was turned around in good time, cost was good. My logo which I use on multiple platforms including an email signature (they also put together for me) definitely reflects my business and I love it! Thank you Ross and Team.
    Monika Olson
  • It is always a pleasure to deal with the team at Red Spark - they are fast and reliable, intelligent and talented, knowledgeable and patient - not to forget kind. Thank you for all the work you do for us, at Lynch & Associates!!!
    Camelia Petrus
  • Ross and Red Spark have been great to deal with. I look forward to working with them on new projects later this year. Ross has provided clear direction for my brand.
    Kevan Hunt
  • Thank you so very much for our wonderful new logo. It is receiving rave reviews as we have shown people. You were incredibly patient and professional – you listened well and really took on board what we were trying to get across. We know at times we must have been right pains but you let us know that you had it under control in the nicest possible way. The huge job of rolling it out now begins – T shirts, sign writing, business cards, email signatures, PowerPoint presentations, rules around its use, trademarks etc but we are excited to have it. Thank you again Ross The StarJam Team

  • Brilliant! It’s been a awesome ride, very smooth, and always telling myself you are the driver and I don’t need to be in control, I can trust you because you are good at what you do - and you are! I in don’t need to be a control freak today - lol 😂 thank you.
    Monika Olson
  • When we launched our new consultancy service: Transition, we asked RedSpark Creative to develop our brand. I was very impressed with the process they used to get to know our business and define our core brand values, then turn this into a visual brand. They then proceeded with implementing our marketing materials. Thanks to our very professional looking brand we have won many new clients that we surely wouldn’t have if we didn’t have such a polished look. This has resulted in us growing the company well ahead of our initial projections. We highly recommend RedSpark Creative to anyone who is considering building a brand for their company or service.

  • Ross created the logo we use. It is clear, well recognised and liked. In addition to this Ross does our newsletters which look fantastic.
    Chris Turney
  • Ross is an outstanding designer that meets his deadlines and is a joy to work with. Ross is quick to come up to speed, even on the most complex products. He has great ideas and will always take the time to listen to what you are looking for. I highly recommend him!  
    Jackie Townsend Konstanturos
  • When I first talked to Ross at RedSpark Creative about our branding, it started sounding like a high cost and I was nervous about whether I would be happy with the results. I went ahead because RedSpark had been recommended by a trusted business colleague and our existing brand really needed a lot of help. The whole process was very professional and painless and the work was done within the deadlines and budgets. RedSpark provided us with invaluable advice on strategic issues. The results were outstanding and I now see that the value RedSpark has delivered for us is worth WAY more than the actual financial investment. I was absolutely blown away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend RedSpark Creative to anyone considering a re-brand.

  • I've worked with RedSpark Creative on a number of projects, as well as using their services for my own marketing material. On each occasion I've been absolutely thrilled with their great ideas and outstanding design work: Red Spark are meticulous in interpreting briefs and delivering designs that hit the spot each and every time. Best of all, RedSpark's customer service and communications are outstanding: very friendly and very prompt. I regularly recommend RedSpark Creative to my business contacts who are in need of quality graphic design as I know they'll get great service from Ross and the team.
    Cornelia Luethi
  • Ross is by far the best creative director I have worked with and I have worked with many. We have worked on a multitude of projects together while I was President of Townsend in San Diego and now as President of Bank2 in Oklahoma City. Ross deeply understands branding concepts and knows how to keep the work on brand from concept to final designs. I am always astonished at the quality of his work and he has an amazing eye for color. He is very fast and delivers on time. He is also very smart, very hard working and a joy to work with.
    Rod Whitson
  • I first worked with Ross as a colleague and since then as a client on a variety of projects. First and foremost, Ross does great creative work. He is an experienced professional who gracefully partners with clients to intimately understand and to compellingly reflect their brands. You couldn’t find a more low key, yet attentive, detailed, committed creative partner. Working with Ross across the miles (between the US & NZ) is just as smooth as when we worked in the same office. Ross is consistently responsive, easy to connect with, and does whatever it takes to come up with finished artwork that exceeds expectations. I recommend him highly and look forward to continuing to work with him.

  • If you’ve found out about Ross Murray, you’re a lucky one. Ross is extraordinary in many ways. I found out about him through a business connection over a decade ago, and I worked with him while I was the VP of Marketing in several hi-tech companies. He did a variety of projects over the years. It’s very unusual to find talented creative people who also understand the business side of things. I’ve met many graphic designers primarily interested in winning awards, while clients are most interested in design work that produces results. Not only is Ross is a superb graphic designer and illustrator, he’s also a fine account executive because he listens and clearly understands what clients want. He never missed a deadline while he was located in the Washington, DC area and when we worked with him back in New Zealand. If you’re in the USA, there’s a real benefit of working with him because of the time zone differences. Of all the creative talents I’ve ever worked with, none can compare with Ross Murray for the quality of work and results produced. He is truly exceptional!
