Strategic design company Designworks has acquired New Zealand-based design and digital communications agency The Church.
Designworks, owned by STW and with five offices across Australia and NZ, has acquired 100% of the 15-person Wellington agency. From today, The Church team has joined forces with Designworks' Wellington office.
Designworks group chairman Sven Baker said: “Paul Soong [founder of The Church] and his team bring a combination of capabilities we've been looking for to emulate the multi-disciplinary dynamic we've built so successfully in the Auckland market over recent years.
“They have very strong digital, UX and motion content capabilities which are increasingly in demand across our client base.”
Soong, who founded The Church in 2000, added: “I'm incredibly excited about the future this creates for the new Designworks Wellington office. We have great alignment in values and vision and have very complementary skills. We share a common belief in the power of design to transform a customer experience and business performance.”
