It’s an online platform that empowers teachers by providing ready-to-use, real-world activities, aligned with curriculums - bringing back creativity to the classroom, and equipping students with the critical thinking skills essential for real life.

The brand - The strong symbolism of the ripple effect, a single drop and it’s potential to impact and influence change, ‘Ripyl’ was a great choice.

The concept centred on the idea of abundance and everyday value, illustrated through bold, colourful grocery imagery bursting out of a shopping basket.

This campaign creative was developed to celebrate Property Brokers’ recognition as a back-to-back winner of Canstar’s “Most Satisfied Customers – Real Estate Agents (Buyers & Sellers)” award in 2024 and 2025.
As Canstar is New Zealand’s leading financial comparison and consumer ratings organisation, the design needed to convey credibility, trust, and prestige while keeping the message clear and customer-focused.
The creative was a bold, striking visual featuring the Canstar award icons on podiums, paired with a clean, confident message: “One trusted name. Two Canstar wins.” The use of deep blue gradients and strong typography amplified the sense of authority and recognition, while maintaining alignment with Property Brokers’ brand identity.
This piece was rolled out across print and digital channels, reinforcing Property Brokers’ position as a market leader and celebrating the trust their customers place in them.
