Top Dogs of Marketing: Teddy from Thinkerbell

We’re pawsitively thrilled it’s Friday because that means it is time for Top Dogs of Marketing! This week, we are introduced to Teddy from independent creative agency Thinkerbell Aotearoa.

Teddy is a three-year old cavoodle – a cross between a poodle and a cavalier King Charles spaniel. He’s been in the role of Chief Stinker at Thinkerbell for a year and we here at NZ Marketing have to assume this title is because he is so stinkin’ cute.

His human Lindsay Paton says Teddy is the ultimate companion because he wants to be by your side 24/7. In the office he makes sure the team stays on top of their admin – nipping at the heels of anyone who forgets to do their timesheets.

Say hello to Teddy

Job title: Chief Stinker

Time in role: One year.

About Teddy: Teddy is the ultimate Velcro dog and loves being his mum’s constant sidekick. Outside of work, he enjoys running around Erin Point Park in Auckland’s Westhaven as well as the beach and getting lots of tummy scratches.

Skills: Keeping couriers on their toes and (literally) chasing the team to do their timesheets. He also clearly knows a thing or two about fashion – peep that fetching green bowtie!


Top Dogs of Marketing is our regular Friday feature where we unleash our furry favourites and celebrate their contribution to office life. Last week, we met Otto, Chief Welcome Officer at Alexanders in Christchurch.

If you reckon your very good girl or boy deserves to feature in a future #TDOM, tell us all about them using the form below.

Come back next week for another Top Dog!
