Founded in 2020 with husband and wife team of Bec Macdonald and Rob Trostle, Mate is an innovative creative studio with the belief that good relationships make great brands.
With a deep understanding of communication and brand language, our approach to each project is bespoke and yields a unique position for the brand regardless of the product or service being offered. All our work is built on a strategic foundation which drives the brand language and every communication we create.
Building great relationships has built a network of seasoned, best-in-class talent that we work with on a regular basis to achieve (almost) anything. This brings expertise beyond anything a single company could provide, but keeps the trust and aligned vision so necessary to moving fast and pushing boundaries.
So far, we’ve been fortunate to partner with clients ranging from startups to a 123 year old company.
We’d love to get to know you.
