Fourth-year branding and marketing for the Takapoto Classic showjumping event — coming back to Takapoto Estate, 17–22 February 2026.
After three years of working on the Takapoto Classic, we approached the 2026 event with a renewed focus: to craft a more dynamic brand identity that unites all facets of the experience. From the Anne Symes Derby and Gold Tour Final, hospitality events like the Cocktail Party and Farm to Table dinner, every element deserves a visual and emotional consistency that reflects the prestige and innovation of the event.
Our goal is to shape a world-class summer showjumping experience — one that stands at the forefront of the sport in New Zealand and offers something refreshingly bold, elevated, and unlike anything seen before in the showjumping space.
