March is a brand, campaign, digital and design studio based in Ōtautahi Christchurch. We work with ambitious businesses and organisations to create brands, websites and campaigns that move them forward. Our approach brings strategy, ideas and craft together, with an understanding of how each piece fits within the bigger picture. The work is thoughtful but never overworked, distinctive without being difficult, and designed to make a clear, lasting impression.

Founded in 2010 [as McCarthy], March is led by Creative Directors Richard Burson and Matt Kitto alongside a small, experienced team. We’ve spent more than a decade working across different industries, scales and stages of business, from established organisations with complex challenges to people building something new. That experience has shaped a studio that values good thinking, close collaboration and a high level of care, from the first conversation through to the finished work.
