Plato Design Wins Top Business Award for Second Year in a Row
Leading Christchurch design agency, Plato Design, have today picked up the best “Creative Site” award at the Bizone Expo
(ChCh), the same award they won in 2009.
Agency director, Lisa Plato says it is very satisfying to win this particular award and it reinforces that you don’t
need to spend the most to have the most impact.
“We are all about being creative at Plato – not just in the usual sense of the word but in broader, strategic and
“outside the square” kind of a way so to win the best “Creative Site” award two years in a row shows we are walking the
walk,” she says.
“We thought we’d mix it up with a theme of ‘show your business some love’ which we embraced completely from the design
of our displays, handouts and even hiring a couple of student ‘cupids’ dressed in tutu’s (which Plato made) mingling
with business owners, pointing them in the direction of our stand,” she adds.
Plato is also promoting a design grant at the expo that will be gifted to a company worth $4,000 to spend on any design
and website services so that the winner can show their company brand a lot of ‘love’ and completely refresh all of their
branding and marketing material or give a start up company a significant jump-start. Entries can be made online at
www.platodesign.co.nz and close on 30 August 2010.
This 2010 Bizone award adds to what has already been a stellar last couple of years for this relatively new company,
with the number of new clients, turnover and staff numbers all markedly increasing over that time.
