The Nave - Branding and Content Studio for Small Businesses

  • "Creative, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what they do."

    Liz B

  • "I'd been running my business for six years and still couldn't explain what I did without rambling. Jo sat with me for an hour, asked the right questions, and somehow pulled out a version of my story I'd never managed to articulate myself. Within two weeks we had a brand presence I was actually confident sharing. I've already had three new enquiries mention my website unprompted."

    — Sarah M.

  • "I came to The Nave feeling like my business looked smaller than it actually was. Jo has this rare ability to cut through the noise and get to what matters — she's not interested in making things pretty for the sake of it, she's interested in making them true. The result felt like me, but the best, clearest version. That's not easy to pull off."

    — Daniel R., executive coach, Wellington
