Where Strategy Meets Creative, Without the Agency Overhead

  • Introducing Tess & Jack— a senior digital marketing and design duo with decades of combined experience, particularly in the non-profit and purpose-led space.

    We’re not a big agency with layers of account managers. We’re hands-on and genuinely invested in the organisations we work with.

    We understand lean teams, tight budgets and big missions — and we know how to make meaningful impact without unnecessary complexity.

  • We believe good creative should do more than look good.

    That means:

    • Strategic first, always. Every design, campaign or communication is grounded in clear objectives.

    • Creative with purpose. We create work that connects your message with your brand and desired audience.

    • Practical and scalable. We build systems and assets your team can confidently use long after we’ve delivered them.

    • Measured impact. We care about results — engagement, clarity, conversions, momentum.

    No fluff. No drama. Just thoughtful, high-quality support that makes your job easier.

  • We partner with purpose-driven organisations, growing businesses and small-to-mid-sized teams who:

    • Need senior expertise without hiring in-house

    • Want clarity and consistency across their communications

    • Value both strategy and design

    • Are doing meaningful work and want their brand to reflect it

    Many of our clients are under-resourced but ambitious — and that’s exactly where we thrive.

Our Team

Tess and Jack bring decades of experience across marketing and design, with a strong foundation in the non-profit and purpose-led space. We understand what it takes to create meaningful impact with lean teams and limited resources. Our role is simple — to take digital marketing and creative off your plate, so you can focus on the work that matters most. No fuss, no drama…just thoughtful, high-quality support built for purpose-driven brands.
