March

is a brand, campaign and digital design studio based in Ōtautahi Christchurch. We make thoughtful, confident work that’s grounded in craft and driven by clear thinking. We work with great people. This can often mean working closely together, having honest conversations, asking the right questions and figuring things out side by side. The result is work that’s clear, distinctive and genuinely useful, not just nice to look at.

Founded in 2012 [as McCarthy] March is led by Creative Directors Richard Burson and Matt Kitto, alongside a small, highly capable team. Each bringing a different perspective but more often than not on the same page, we’ve spent the past decade-plus working across a wide range of industries, with clients of all shapes and sizes. That mix of experience, respect and perspective has quietly shaped the work we produce and how the studio operates today.
