Former Coats Design creative director Matt Grantham joins Onfire in the role of CD

Onfire has appointed Matt Grantham, formerly of Coats Design, to the role of creative director.

Says Sam Allan, managing director, Onfire: “These are exciting times for Onfire. We’re delighted to get Matt on board, he’s one of Auckland’s leading designers as can be seen in his brand and packaging work for Hubbards, Genesis Energy and Michael Hill, among many others. This appointment further strengthens the agency’s brand and packaging credentials since it joined forces with Grant Alexander in 2016.”

Bringing more than 18 years experience working on some of NZ’s and the UK’s biggest consumer brands, Grantham is looking forward to complementing Onfire’s expertise as well as capitalising on the agency’s growing influence in the digital arena.

Says Grantham: “There’s great synergy with the Onfire team. In fact, like me, Sammo once worked alongside Rob Coats, so the two companies have much in common.”

Onfire has recently added several new pieces of business so Grantham will be hitting the ground running.
