Who
We're Mojo. We're in love with creating growth - making our clients' businesses bigger, brighter, more successful.
 
What
Our motto is 'Find a way'. Make a Discovery. Conceive of an Idea. Make it happen. And we do. Here's how.
 
Latest
We've been creating growth for some of the world's most iconic brands for years. Here's what we've been changing lately.
 

Mojo people are hungry and curious - we always have been and we always will be.

We're restless. We ask a lot of questions. Discoveries are at the heart of Mojo ideas. And Mojo ideas create growth.

Mojo people are:

They know they don't know everything, but they know how to find out.

When we get a diverse group of talented people on a project, we challenge and inspire each other, we argue, we question - and we always get to a great answer. One we wouldn't have got to on our own. Our team is open minded - the consumer is on the team, the client is on the team.

If you're curious and ambitious, then welcome to the team.

Our team is a worldwide team. We're Publicis Mojo, a full-service advertising agency based in Auckland, New Zealand, and we're part of Publicis, one of the world's leading agency networks, with offices in countries around the world.

Because where there's Mojo, there's magic
Magic is indefinable. But you know it when you see it.
It surprises you, delights you, and everyone loves it.


Our pledge is to bring a bit of magic to everything we do.

It's ideas that create growth, but not all ideas are created equal.

An idea that presents something familiar in a new and fresh light, that changes the way people see something, and ultimately changes the way they behave - that is an idea that creates growth. When we look back at our work over the last 15 or so years, there's one thing our most successful work shares in common:

It takes a great idea, inspired by a great discovery.

Discovery describes what we uncover when we started digging - about the consumer and the product. They form the basis of an idea that changes the way people think and behave. Discoveries come from everywhere. They might come from the other side of a one way mirror, but the freshest we find come from the real world. They often come from real people, in real places - talking about what's important to them. They may come from the media, from tuning into the buzz or the message between the lines. They can come from experts - physiotherapists, baristas, nutrititonists. And they come from people in touch - hairdressers, bartenders, taxi drivers. Mostly they come from Mojo people.

At times, we make discoveries in the course of formal research - but more often than not it's from talking to people - in living rooms, kitchens, pubs, sports clubs all over Australia and New Zealand.


Discoveries might be huge.
Discoveries might be small.
They might be blindingly obvious or take brilliance to uncover.


A Discovery is...

  • Uncovering something in the product that consumers didn't know.
  • Finding a way to express something that was previously thought not interesting in an interesting way.
  • Understanding what's important in the consumer's world. What turns them on, turns them off - what's credible - what triggers their built-in bullshit button.
  • Finding the blockage - what's stopping them - the packaging, the taste, the image, the efficacy?

Publicis Mojo is a full-service advertising agency based in Auckland, New Zealand - and we're now making Discoveries all over the world.

We discovered that in Moscow football is an excuse to let out all that pent up emotion! We discovered that Turks wanted a soft drink that wasn't kiddy and reflected their adult and sophisticated tastes. We discovered that Americans wanted to let their inner me shine, big, bold and bright - whilst the French wanted to let their inner me shine in a quieter and more subtle way.

Great discoveries inspire contagious ideas - ideas like these, that get more people talking more positively about your brand.

Schweppes' SIGNS wins GOLD at Cannes

Conclusively dispelling the myth that viral videos must be short and gimmicky to grab your attention, the 12-minute-long short film Signs has not only captured the imagination of more than 4 million online viewers, it caught the eye of the Cyber Jury at the 2009 Cannes Lions - resulting in a GOLD Lion for us, and contributing to measurably improved performance for the brand. A love story with few words that compels you to watch until its poignant end, Signs has crossed the boundaries from advertising to true pure content for Schweppes. People are activity searching it out to share with others - just like sharing a Schweppes.

"New Zealand's most effective advertising agency"

We were thrilled to receive the Agency Effectiveness Award at the 2008 CAANZ Effie Awards last night.

The award recognises the agency that makes the most significant contribution to the success of its clients and is the true test of our relentless obsession for producing ideas that create growth.

An immensely satisfying night was made all the sweeter each time Lion Nathan took the stage to claim award after award for campaigns we'd developed together for Speight's and Steinlager Pure.
