Studio Alexander wins Gold Award for Fletcher Archivist's Table
We are proud to announce that the Archivist's Table, created to mark the centennial of Fletcher in New Zealand, has won the New Zealand design industry's Gold Best Award for broadcast graphic design.
The Archivist's Table tells the story of a fine New Zealand business tradition through a combination of video, photography, illustration and animation, with narration from Fletcher archivist Dorothy Neilson, and excerpts from a 1970 interview with company founder, Sir James Fletcher.
The best part of our business is working with courageous clients who support great work.

We're celebrating our tenth birthday!
This year Studio Alexander turns 10. It's been a terrific journey with our team, our clients, some outstanding work, and a lot of fun. As we look to our next decade, we took time out to celebrate with many of the people who have been there with us as Studio Alexander grew. Special thanks to photographer John Crawford for capturing the spirit of the night.
