Darkhorse celebrates first decade in business

AUCKLAND, Monday: Integrated AUNZ creative agency Darkhorse celebrated 10 years in business today. Co-founders Liam Taylor and Mike Hewitt (both based in NZ), who have marketing and events backgrounds, started Darkhorse in 2012 after seeing a gap in the market to provide full service solutions for brands.

The agency, which now has offices in Auckland and Sydney, are marking the milestone and reflecting on how they have evolved since their inception.

MD Mike Hewitt said: “When we started off in 2012, we were primarily focused on brand activations and large-scale events. This quickly evolved into the launch of our PR arm in 2013 followed by our Digital arm in 2015.

“Today we are, proudly, a fully integrated creative agency working on end-to-Darhosend campaigns for a number of the world’s leading brands.

“The Darkhorse team expanded into Sydney last year to service the Australian market, and has been steadily growing their business across the Tasman, and facilitating APAC-wide campaigns between the two offices.”

“With 10 years under our belt, we’re excited for what the next 10 will bring.”

Taylor and Hewitt credit their team for their ongoing success “we are grateful to have an amazing team who work relentlessly to achieve results for our clients”, says Co-Founder and

Creative director Liam Taylor said: “We’ve worked hard to create a culture of collaboration, creativity and fun with employee wellness at the forefront. Attracting and retaining our fantastic employees has been one of the key pillars in our success.”

Darkhorse joined Project Worldwide, a global network of 14 agencies with 42 locations across the globe, in 2017.

“Joining Project Worldwide has enabled us to access new markets and harness the brain power of our sister agencies.” says Hewitt “It is a family of exceptional people doing exceptional work, we’re looking forward to a bright future as we explore taking the Darkhorse approach to more markets.”

“With 10 years under our belt, we’re excited for what the next 10 will bring.”
