Southward Brewing Co. brand identity — Wellington brewery case study by Obvious

Stand out for what you stand for

What does your brand stand for, when it counts? When the procurement panel meets, the press release goes out, the AGM asks the hard question, the customer turns up with a problem you didn’t expect, the new hire reads your brand book on day one?

That’s the brand we build. Not the one in the slide deck. The one that holds up under contact.

Obvious is the in-house brand and creative agency for Paradigm Group, a Wellington collective that includes Aro Digital, Digitella, NoticeBoards, GrabOne and Kepla. We also work with external clients across Aotearoa.

Content that connects

Obvious is a creative agency specialising in brand strategy, identity, communications and advertising. Whether you’re looking for visibility or meaningful community engagement, we position your brand in the right places, and in the right way, to resonate.

Mission Ready
Diana Sharma, Co-Founder at Mission Ready HQ

The event was really warm and welcoming. They seemed to have developed a community around the event, which I felt privileged to be part of. As they grow the event it would be an interesting challenge to see how they can take that vibe to a wider audience.”

TEDxPipitea
Sam Allen, Marketing Manager at Business Events

Probably my favourite creative team I’ve ever worked with. Not only is their output always beautiful, it’s increased our organic reach across social media channels, modernised our brand and seen uplift in sales. Oh – and they’ve upskilled our team along the way to make us more independent and knowledgeable when it comes to design. I could not recommend them...

Molly, SuiteFiles

“Our team is really happy with how the rebrand has turned out – one of our team members, with 25 years experience in marketing and sales, said that the brand guideline document was one of the best he’d ever seen! Very concise and clearly communicates to the whole team how we should and shouldn’t use the brand, while also being...
