Ka mua, ka muri
Walking backwards into the future
Kia ora I'm Hamish
Flying Saucer (Est. 2007) is an independently owned Creative Agency that began its life with one awesome client.
Over time the business grew into a team of 12 great people working with clients across Aotearoa on hundreds of projects. In 2020 I moved to te Tairāwhiti - Gisborne seeking a change of pace for the whanau, and the opportunity to bring my knowledge and experience into a community setting.
Some people are right-brained, some people are left-brained, I seemed to have been given a bit of both alongside a healthy side serving of curiosity.
I’m part storyteller which I attribute this my parents who owned a bookshop when I was young. I’d hide in a corner and read and read, getting lost in daydreams. I’m also part rational analytic who loves clarity. I can absorb information and boil it down until I have found the gems that need to be communicated.
Alongside my communications and marketing nouse, I’ve been running businesses for the last 20 odd years, through the ups and downs, rounds and about. This has provided me with a healthy dose of humility and values that I abide by.
I can work with you on a project basis or a fractional capacity of hours or days per week.
When not working I'm re-learning how to surf, with an old film camera communing in nature, growing veges and fighting weeds, or enjoying time with my beautiful whanau.
