Industry

Forestry

RDNZ is New Zealand’s leading forestry investment business, with a trusted 40-year track record. We partnered with the team to reposition the brand for the future, shifting it from a traditional agricultural image to a high-value, knowledge-driven identity.

The positioning brings its expertise, innovation and global outlook to the fore, presenting forestry as a sophisticated investment shaped by insight and stewardship. A confident brand now reflects RDNZ’s ability to create enduring value through long-term thinking.

Brand Strategy

“The Knowledge to Grow” reframed RDNZ around the value behind its forests: four decades of expertise. The proposition connects natural growth with investor ambition, positioning the business as an informed, forward-looking partner. It brings together experience, innovation and responsible stewardship in a clear promise of enduring value and confident progress.

identity Strategy

A bold tree symbol, high-visibility green and forestry markings give the identity immediate recognition and relevance. Confident typography and a restrained palette balance industry credibility with investment sophistication.

Documentary photography brings audiences closer to the land, people and expertise behind RDNZ, extending coherently across guidelines, social content and marketing assets.
