Who are Distinct Studio, and what do they do?

If you’ve landed on this page, chances are you’ve seen or heard something about Distinct Studio, and now you’re curious to find out what we’re all about.

Distinct Studio is a business with a clear mission: we empower creatives to empower businesses.

In plain terms, we build a team of great people, back them to do their best work, and turn that into real results for the businesses we work with. Our team includes creative directors, strategists, videographers, web developers, and a range of other skillsets that come together to create marketing that actually moves the needle.

We’re a content-first marketing agency, which means that no matter the medium, everything we do starts with game-changing content. And the key to great content? It tells a story and defines a narrative.

We tell your story through a number of marketing services, but our two core areas are content-first websites and organic social media.

What is a content-first website?

A content-first website is built from the ground up to showcase photo and video content in a way that tells your brand story. Why? Because content is one of the most powerful ways to connect with your audience. It grabs attention, builds trust, and shows people who you are, far better than a wall of text or stock images ever could. In a world full of bland, forgettable websites, content-first sites actually show your customers what you’re about.

As an integrated agency, we handle the full process — from strategy and creative direction to build, launch, and ongoing updates. It’s a full-circle approach that keeps your website fresh and working hard for your business.

What is organic social media?

Organic social refers to the content your audience sees without paid promotion behind it, so it actually needs to be good enough to earn their attention. Just like our websites, our social media content is built to reflect your personality and connect with your audience in a real, authentic way.

We’re not just a film studio. Our team works together to develop a narrative that aligns with your overall strategy before filming, editing, and publishing your content.

How can we help your business?

We work across so many industries because most businesses have two things in common:

1. They want to grow
2. They have a story worth telling

Our job is to take the human side of your business and turn it into content that builds trust, attracts the right people, and drives real results. Whether you’re selling homes, cars, coffee, or consulting, the principle stays the same: Your story is your edge. We help you use it to grow.

Who we work with

We work with businesses of all sizes, from first-time founders to national brands. Some of our clients include:

• Christchurch European: building a strong video-first presence to attract their target customers online
• Rayen & Wood Financial: helping financial services feel more human, clear, and approachable
• Stoke Homes: creating authentic content for authentic customers
• Avon City Ford, David Melse, Kelleher Real Estate, and many more

No matter the industry, our approach stays the same:

Story first. Strategy-backed. Results focused
