C i Marketing are like your good friends you drop in on, who knows how you drink your coffee, the ones you share the good and the bad with, who know when you need a kind word or encouragement, or maybe a bit of a reality check to help get you back on track.
We take the time to get to know each of our clients — from their staff and brand to their services and customers and, incredibly importantly, how they like their scones, building a deep familiarity and a trusting partnership.
Being a part of our clients journey of growth and success is incredibly fulfilling and simply is, why we do what we do. Each project is rewarding, however some really stick in our hearts and minds. Keep reading to find out more…
Fika
Branding | Design
Vera: “The very best graphic design jobs are the ones where I have freedom to be creative, where the design can flow and develop organically and where clients put their trust in me and the process.
Working with Fika allowed me to do exactly that. The broad nature of their business meant I needed to find a way to create separate identities for each part of their offer, while also keeping a strong synergy to the overall brand. The outcome was a really fun, funky and retro brand which played with colour to symbolise the different arms of their business.
Oh, and the fact that Fika is all about coffee… - automatically a winner!”
Actuality
Strategic Videography | Storytelling
Liz: “Actuality’s hero video stands out as a for me, as although they knew exactly what they wanted to achieve, they were struggling to understand how to achieve it.
I took their script and rewrote it from a strategic perspective, with their audience and goals in mind, built a storyboard and then shot the video to truly reflect their brand story.
Actuality’s offer involves complex new technology, so it was vital to highlight this visually. Using our strategic expertise, specialised filming equipment and some editing tricks, we exceeded their expectations and they were thrilled with the finished video.”
Phoenix Healthcare
Strategy | Advertising
Emily: “Our Strategic Discovery Workshop was a real highlight for me. Phoenix have a very diverse Healthcare offer and the workshop really challenged the teams strategic thinking and helped them to unpack and truly understand their offer from their audiences perspective. The lightbulb moments for the Phoenix team during the workshop were hugely rewarding.
Implementing their strategic direction across social and digital and exceeding their GP enrolment goals for the first year in operation, has been the icing on the cake!”

About our story
The who, the why and all the C…and i words.
In 2011 after Christchurch wobbled, Elizabeth was offered a marketing contract within the tourism industry. Together with her Dad; Laurie, a very successful owner-operator of elevator component company Cirrus International Ltd, they created Cirrus International - Marketing.
Fast forward to now… the values, passion and drive are still the same, but the team is bigger, the offer is much broader and the name has been tweaked a little. Years of building and refining our offer and brand have led C i Marketing to where we are now.
To us, the C and i speak volumes as to who we are and what we stand for: Creative - innovative - Collaboration - insights - Content - inspirational - Connect – impressions - Consistency - ideas - Coffee - inspire.

Owner and imagery production manager & photographer, Liz often connects with clients in the early stages of our relationships. She loves finding the perfect combo between the art & science of imagery for our clients, visually showcasing their offer in a high quality, creative, unique and consistent way ensuring they stand out in the busy marketing landscape.
In her spare time (not that she has much!), you will probably still find Liz with a camera in her hand, or singing barbershop with the Christchurch City Chorus, competing internationally representing New Zealand.

Our graphic designer and overall brand & campaign manager, Vera is passionate about working closely with clients to truly get to know them before she starts to develop, cement and aesthetically communicate their offer.
