Independent Australian creative agency MONTOYA has opened in Aotearoa, building on increased client demand and a growing trans-Tasman network of creative talent, the agency announced today.
Founded in 2022 by New Zealand-born creative leader and former R/GA and Host executive creative director, Bob Mackintosh, MONTOYA works with brands including Air New Zealand, Les Mills and Virgin Active across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Thailand.
“I’ve been building relationships with exceptional creative and production partners on both sides of the Tasman since we launched,” said Mackintosh.
“We’re seeing a real appetite from clients in both New Zealand and Australia for a more direct, senior-led model – one that strips away unnecessary agency layers and connects marketers directly with the creatives developing the work.
MONTOYA’s recent work includes multi-market creative for Virgin Active across Asia-Pacific, content initiatives for Les Mills, and trans-Tasman work for Air New Zealand.
