DDB Aotearoa and pioneering kaupapa Māori agency Whare Creative have a unique partnership working together under the brand, Takitoru.

Takitoru provides a full communications suite from strategic consultation to ideation, design and execution. Importantly it offers existing and new clients the powerful combination of two award-winning creative teams utilising te ao Māori frameworks with the tautoko (support) of a joint workforce of 240. Takitoru is a Māori word (noun) which means a group of three; the combination of Whare Creative and DDB Aotearoa, when twisted together like two strands of flax fibre (muka), create a third, much stronger fibre.
