Proof beats a pitch.

The companion to the Command Centre, on the marketing side: every channel a business juggles — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google, the website, LinkedIn — run from one place. Write the idea once and the Composer adapts it to each platform's own voice, instead of the same post pasted everywhere. Around it sits the working cockpit: a content calendar, one unified inbox for comments and messages, a scoreboard for what's actually landing, and a review engine that turns happy customers into Google reviews.

Built with students finding their way through the tsunami of AI job cuts — a sharp, half-comic take on how people actually work alongside the machines instead of against them. Idea, narrative, design and build. Where Workshop Command Centre shows the operations side, this is the creative range: a bold idea turned into something that looks and reads sharp.

Dunedin's garden festival, taken from a blank page to a live, multi-page site — the festival story, the four seasons, open gardens, a Garden Knowledge hub and the charitable foundation behind it. But the site is just the front of it: alongside it we shaped the brand, the business model, the sponsorship strategy and the outreach to land it — concept to execution, built with the team.

A values-first AI companion — built on truth, respect and free will, not engagement metrics or addictive loops. From the idea and the brand to the product and the platform behind it, this one goes all the way down: New Zealand's own answer to what an AI companion should be.

A much-loved Dunedin institution — organic grocery, café and apothecary — that brought us in to sharpen a strong business, not fix a broken one. Role-by-role performance measures, a relocated apothecary that reshaped the floor's traffic, sharper kitchen systems, a growth-focused layout, and AI built for both the team and the owner. Optimising for performance and profitability, with the discipline to hold the gains.

This is what it looks like when Ken works inside a business for the long haul. A real turnaround in Rarotonga: the owner wanted to prepare a Honda, Nissan, Samsung and multi-product distributor for sale. Ken rebuilt it — from the franchise and the freight through to the in-house finance company (bad debt down from 28% to under 6%) and a faster foreign-exchange mechanism that ended up reshaping the bank's own process across the Pacific. He was briefed to make it sale-ready; the owner looked at the stronger business and chose to keep it. The experience behind how TSG works.
