About On Brand

THE ON BRAND PRINCIPLES

The heartbeat of everything we create.

These principles are more than just values—they’re the soul of our work. They shape how we show up, guide how we serve, and remind us why we do what we do.

They are our anchor in moments of growth, change, and decision-making. And they reflect the world we believe in—one where creativity is bold, connection is genuine, and business is a force for good.

We live them, breathe them, and infuse them into every brand we build and every story we help bring to life.

If you’re reading this, we hope they resonate with you too. Because when we build from shared values, we build something far more meaningful.

The Pillars of Our Work:

  • Creativity + Entrepreneurship: We believe in the power of big ideas paired with bold action. Creativity fuels everything we do, and entrepreneurship drives us to turn visions into reality.

  • Health + Wellbeing: We honour the importance of balance, wellness, and the energy it takes to create something meaningful. Caring for ourselves and others is at the heart of how we do business.

  • Social Justice + Awareness: Inclusivity and respect are non-negotiable. We are committed to amplifying underrepresented voices and ensuring every space we occupy is one of awareness, equality, and empowerment.

  • Compassion + Empathy: Connection begins with understanding. We approach every interaction with kindness and the desire to truly see, hear, and value the people we work with.

  • Generosity + Gratitude: We give freely of our time, energy, and ideas, knowing that generosity always creates ripple effects. Gratitude is the foundation of how we live and work—it fuels everything we do.

  • Integrity + Kindness: We do what’s right, even when no one is watching. Integrity guides our decisions, and kindness shapes how we engage with the world.

Our Kaupapa

Your brand is more than What You Say and do; it’s why you Do It and Who You Do It For.

From clients to studio chains, everything Martiene touches has one common theme: growth that feels meaningful. Her work is about more than numbers and campaigns—it’s about creating Business and strategies that connect on a human level, with authenticity and purpose at their core.

A yogi, holistic health practitioner and Ocean Lover, Martiene’s passion for living outside the box shapes everything she does, including her marketing approach.

With every project, Martiene brings a mix of creativity, intuition, and results-driven strategy, ensuring her clients feel empowered and aligned every step of the way.

Because for Martiene, it’s not just about building businesses—it’s about helping people find their voice and live with purpose.

A Few thins That Make Us Smile

We’re big believers that the little joys in life fuel the big ideas. Here are a few things that light us up and keep us inspired:

  • Margaritas and tacos (because they’re always a good idea).

  • Coffee before connection—priorities, right?

  • Lunchtime ocean dips that refresh the soul.

  • The smell of arriving in a new country—adventure starts here.

  • Feathers—if you know, you know.

It’s these moments of joy and inspiration that remind us why we do what we do—and why staying On Brand is about so much more than just business.
