Our team

"Ki tai wīwī

Ki tai wāwā

Ki te wheiao

Ki te ao mārama

Tīhei mauri ora."

Through the swirling waters

And the roaring ocean

We emerge into the light

And breathe the essence of life

We are a whānau collective, inspired by words from our traditional Tauranga Moana tauparapara & waiata-ā-ringa (song) 'Papaki Tū Ana' which captures the story of the Tainui canoe coming into Te Awanui harbour.

These words keep us steadfast in our collective global journey to find the leading light in the oceans of creativity.

One Table. Good Vibes. Great Kaupapa.

Table 1 was founded on the belief that when good people come together at one table, great things can happen. Inspired by the storytellers of the past who have nurtured important stories of generations, our team envisioned a space where creativity, collaboration, and cultural integrity could thrive.

Influenced by the principles of mana motuhake (self-determination), Table 1 is a space to make magic. It’s built on the idea that by uniting positive, passionate people, we can create authentic, impactful content that entertains, uplifts, and connects.

With a focus on fun, collaboration, and the collective magic of great minds at one table, Table 1 is where creativity meets purpose and amazing things come to life together.
