We’ve worked with lots of different companies and organisations, in fact there’s not many sectors we haven’t experienced - and there’s also a few we’ve politely declined to work with. Health and Wellbeing is a bit of a speciality, but we love using that same rigour and strategic approach to help brands from all sectors to Rise + Shine too.
If your business is ultimately about improving people’s lives either through advanced healthcare, supporting mental and physical wellbeing, promoting active lifestyles or simply helping people to get more out of life in a positive way then you’ll be in good company working with us.
We love to work with ambitious and progressive clients who aren’t afraid to go against the grain and stand out for all the right reasons.
We use our restless creativity to crack open challenges and we’re powered by our people.
Our Culture
Behind our ability to help brands Rise + Shine is a purpose that’s about inspiring people to live life better. We like to think of it as our superpower.
It drives us to want to solve problems responsibly and effectively, be nice to work with (and for) and be brave in our approach and ideas.
We champion creativity and collaboration, not egos - we take our work more seriously than we do each other.
We’re optimists with a passion for active lifestyles and because great ideas like to hide out in the mountains, forests, trails or the gym, (and rarely at your desk) we like to go and find them there.
