Working with The Enthusiasts has been an absolute joy! Their strategic brilliance and creativity have consistently exceeded my expectations, and I cherish the many, many years of laughter and collaboration we’ve shared.
JEN CHAPPELL, FMR COUNTRY MANAGER, NESTLÉ NZ
I’ll be forever grateful to The Enthusiasts for bringing the Mission’s story to life with such deep compassion and empathy. You truly listen to and understand our work and our community. With patience and care, you interpret what you know about the Mission in a way that beautifully invites New Zealanders to see how—together—we can make a positive difference. Because of your support, thousands of New Zealanders have stepped forward to help the Mission stand alongside people who are struggling. Martin, Jamie and team—simple words of thanks will never be enough, but they are all I have: thank you.
HELEN ROBINSON, CEO, AUCKLAND CITY MISSION
For more than twenty years, 3 Wise Men and The Enthusiasts have shared a partnership built on trust, humour and an instinctive understanding of what makes our brand tick. Like us, The Enthusiasts believe that business should be smart, but never stiff. They understand that personality matters and that being good at what you do is only half the job, and that being good buggers, while you do it is the rest. They’re the kind of people you genuinely want in the room. Creative, grounded and fun to work with.
RICHARD MILES, FOUNDER / MD, 3 WISE MEN
The Enthusiasts didn’t just get our brands, they brought them to life with bold ideas, clever insights, serious strategic direction, and a level of energy that was infectious. If you want your brand to stand out and have some fun along the way, The Enthusiasts are the crew you want in your corner!

James Crisp has partnered with The Enthusiasts for the past five years to grow brand awareness and love for Graze Skinny Dipped. Their genuine passion and creative approach has added the magic to bring Graze Skinny Dipped to life. We value their consistent use of our brand assets and tone across multiple touchpoints, as well as their ability to leverage NPD to deliver fresh news. Each campaign feels familiar yet new and engaging. It’s been a fantastic partnership that has helped build Graze Skinny Dipped into a well-recognised and much-loved New Zealand brand. Their open, approachable and passionate style makes The Enthusiasts a fun and valuable team to work alongside.
CAREY WILKEN, GM, JAMES CRISP
I have worked with The Enthusiasts team since the very beginning, and I have always enjoyed their smart, pragmatic approach. What’s different about them is they are on the tools – Martin and Jamie lead from the front, and they understand and tackle the business problem to be solved, not just the marketing problem. The work is always world-class and they are super-duper good human beings to boot.
RACHEL ELLERM, KIRIN
APEC, and all we were trying to achieve, was not easy to communicate, but time and again throughout the year The Enthusiasts showed a talent for distilling complex ideas into clear, simplified, impactful form.
CAS CARTER, FMR COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR, APEC NZ MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS & TRADE
Good business and good ideas are fostered through great partnership and I feel we truly have that with JDE & The Enthusiasts.
