About
Make Mate was formed in 2018 with the core focus on helping clients make the most of their brand. With strategy and effectiveness at the centre of everything we do, we strive to deliver work that works.
We now work with clients across Australia and locally from our headquarters situated in Geelong, Victoria.
-
We believe any effective piece of communication needs to start with a strong strategic foundation.
-
Branding is more than just a logo. We create a whole style guide to consistently and effectively connect with your consumer.
-
We work out how to best speak to your target audience and develop clear and impactful messaging to engage with them.
-
Sometimes the best solutions are not the most obvious ones, and we encourage conversations that lead to great creative work that uses less traditional mediums and methods.
Meet the Team
We work with meaningful brands to assist with their strategy, branding and advertising. Each project involves the Make Mate team plus trusted collaborators, hand-picked for the projects needs and budget.
