Great design for better business
And because of this we have a keen sense of what is working and what isn’t, what’s great communication and what’s just trendy fluff.
Our team has experience both in New Zealand and internationally, building brands and creating great communication pieces. Whether they be business cards or web sites, we firmly believe that unless a design works to improve your business it’s just not good design.

Ross started his design career in Wellington and holds a Bachelor of Design from Victoria University. Ross has helped create brands for companies such as Learning Media Ltd, Macs Breweries and Lion Nathan as well as international companies such as Cisco Systems, one of the world’s leading technology companies, and Musgraves Supervalue Centra, a leading FMCG company in Europe.
A talented presenter and writer, Ross has the skills to not only create the graphics required to make a great design piece but also the training and knowledge to create emotive messaging to ensure successful engagement with your customers and clients.
Ross has a passion for design and branding but can also be found running around the beach with his family, and saving life and property as a volunteer firefighter. Ross is also a former Director of Arthouse Cinema, a not-for-profit cultural experience that is bringing great cinema to Taranaki audiences.
We also work with programmers and developers, researchers, editors and photographers to ensure that your ultimate design project is not only completed as briefed, but fits our aim to exceed your expectations.
“You’ve captured in design what we only imagined in words. Thank you for your commitment to quality. It’s been a pleasure working with you!”
Shawna Murray, ICONZ Group
Ross Bennett consistently produces Fortune 500 quality results and conducts business with the highest level of professionalism. It is my pleasure to outsource our top strategic projects to Ross, as his mindset matches that of our Executive level clients’. He truly is a “thinking” designer. Ashela Webb, Mdina.
"I remember coming back from Australia after losing an important contract. Rather than be despondent I applied some Healthy Thinking™ and thought, "This doesn't mean my product is terrible, just the way I am presenting it is, I need to get a professional designer." Fortunately the gods smiled on me and I found Ross Bennett of Cause and Effect. He made the information come alive and we sold $50 000 of products in our first week after the re-design. It has taken my business to a company and a global operation. Ross Bennett is a rare individual who you only have to tell him something once, then he comes back with something more amazing than you could have thought of that covers all your bases.
