OH2 is John O’Leary and Ben Handy. We’ve spent 25 years running agencies, building brands and creating work that makes our clients money. We founded
Mr Smith, grew it into a successful independent agency, sold it to Havas and went on to lead Havas New Zealand.
Along the way, we’ve helped grow Slingshot from zero to 250,000 users, helped build Flooring Xtra and ITM, and worked with Les Mills, SmartVent, Southern Cross Travel Insurance and healthcare brands. Our experience also spans Emirates, Moccona, Bell Tea, Firth and many others. Different businesses, different challenges, with the same goal: turn good thinking into commercial results.
All that experience. A new way of working.
OH2 brings senior strategy, creative thinking and hands-on production together in a lean, two-person studio. You work directly with us—from understanding the business problem to making the finished work.
Our hybrid model combines human insight, design and storytelling with AI and traditional production. We choose the right tools for each idea, opening up possibilities across film, imagery, sound, campaigns, websites and apps while keeping more of your budget in the work.
That means bigger creative ambitions within reach of smaller businesses, and established brands getting more from what they spend.
Good ideas should grow your business.
Let’s get to work.
Bigger ideas. Modest budgets. Serious experience.
