Who are Pinnacle&Co.?
At Pinnacle&Co, we’re big believers in giving a fair and honest service. Over the past quarter of a century – and counting – we’ve gone above and beyond to help the businesses we serve to create great businesses. We’re a full-service creative, marketing, advertising, web design and development agency that works with clients around Canterbury, New Zealand and the world.
Forget everything you think you know about big ad agencies, as that’s just not us. We’re approachable and highly experienced in all matters of marketing. We know you’ve got a business to run, so we avoid the tech jargon and talk to you in a language you’ll immediately understand.
As founder and director of Pinnacle&Co., Phillippa Jacobs-Lory says, “We’re your one-stop agency with solutions for all your projects. Where we excel is in partnering with your business – providing targeted, proactive advertising and marketing excellence.”
And how do we do all this? We’ve got a proven formula that takes the guesswork (and pain) out of getting your marketing humming. Once we get your initial branding aligned with who you are it’s then all about communicating regularly and consistently with your clients in a way that gets you noticed. Hand on heart, all our clients who do planned and measured regular work with us are winners in their industry. They have complete trust in us to get the job done.
Your marketing strategy can be as large or as little as you like. We’ll tailor a solution to suit your business and your budget.
So, if you’re looking for a smart website, marketing material and a stroke of creative genius that’s all about your business, you’ve come to the right place. Like you, we’re local, highly experienced and a down-to-earth bunch. If you’re looking for our search bot, we don’t have one! Pick up the phone and talk to a real human instead.
Pinnacle&Co. Story
We’ve been established since 1997, working with businesses of all shapes and sizes across a variety of industries in and around Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand and worldwide.
Starting out as Pinnacle Design Limited, we had just one goal: to provide wonderful websites, graphic design, effective advertising campaigns and all manner of marketing material.
In 2007, we grew to become Mega Advertising. Mega represented a larger team offering big ideas and bigger solutions and consistently delivering experience, credibility and creativity.
Fast forward ten years, and in 2017 we launched Pinnacle&Co – your strategic creative partner, designed to align with our changing world of work. We still take care of all your website, advertising, marketing, design and signage solutions, but we also partner with you in a smarter and more strategic way. Consider us an extension of your own team as you work with us to plan and create a proactive marketing strategy that keeps you at the top of your industry.
Phillippa Jacobs-Lory has been at the helm throughout the years and works with creative and diverse individuals who are passionate about growing your business with you.
What’s your story? Stories sell. Words are powerful. Make sure your marketing and messaging are crystal clear.
Pinnacle&Co.’s Heart For Christchurch
True success comes from what you give, and we believe supporting our community is just a natural part of being in business. At Pinnacle&Co., we give back to our community in many ways.
Charities & Not-For-Profits
We do our best to provide websites, design, and marketing solutions for community groups and volunteer organisations.
We’re proud to have partnered with fantastic organisations like Pay It Forward, Scouting New Zealand, Endometriosis New Zealand, Heart Strings, and the Pegasus Bay Charitable Trust to name but a few. We actively ask you to join us in supporting these worthy causes in any way you can.
Business Chicks and Business Brains
Since 2004, Phillippa Jacobs-Lory has been chairing and working with Business Chicks, the business networking group set up to help other women business owners share experiences and knowledge in a supportive setting. Business Brains is a marketing group that meets once a month and helps its members keep up to date with all things marketing. Phillippa has been co-chairing this group since 2005.
Memberships
Zonta & Z Club
As a successful businesswoman, Pinnacle&Co. CEO Phillippa Jacobs-Lory believes it’s vital to stand up for women around New Zealand and internationally who cannot do so for themselves. This is why she’s been a member of Zonta since 2006.
Zonta is an international organisation dedicated to building a better world for women and girls around the world. In practice, this means fundraising, supporting charities and supporting each other. Phillippa has been president of her Christchurch Zonta Club, president of the Zonta youth wing ‘Z Club New Zealand’, and was Chair of Z Club Christchurch-Canterbury for 12 years, based at Avonside Girls’ High School. Phillippa has also held the roles of Area 3 Director (Canterbury/Marlborough), International Committee for Z Club and Golden Z Club, Lieutenant Governor for 2020-2022 and now holds the current position of Zonta New Zealand’s Governor for 2022-2024.
On International Women’s Day, March 8th 2016, Phillippa won a Zonta New Zealand 50 Women of Achievement Award. Phillippa shares this honour with Dame Silvia Cartwright, Helen Clark, Louise Nicholas, and other notable women who have focussed their passion drive and valued time into pursuing a better place for us to live.
Registered Master Builders’ Association
We’re more comfortable building websites, but with many building companies on our books, becoming an associate member of the Registered Master Builders’ Association is to our clients’ advantage. We work with builders to ensure their marketing and messaging are on target. Meaning they can get on with the business of building houses. At Pinnacle&Co., we’re proud of our work in Christchurch’s building sector and our strong reputation in this competitive industry. We are proud to be members for over ten years.
Business Networking International (BNI)
The BNI slogan; ‘Givers gain’ sums up Pinnacle&Co.’s business model. As an organisation, BNI is about building business relationships, exchanging referrals, and supporting the community. Phillippa Jacobs has been a committed member of BNI since 2004, where she has actively joined members of BNI chapters across Christchurch fundraising for Nurse Maude Hospice. If you are looking to grow your business and expand your contact network, contact Pinnacle&Co. about visiting a BNI chapter today.
