Founded in 2004, 3 Wise Men was born out of a desire to provide quality fashionable clothing at affordable prices to the New Zealand market. Recognizing the changing landscape of men's fashion, the company set out to simplify the purchasing process by offering strong online offers, welcoming and well-stocked physical stores, and great customer service. Additionally, 3 Wise Men implemented a straightforward pricing strategy, offering all their shirts at a flat rate of $120 each or 3 for $300.

"Working with Overdose. has been a game-changer for our eCommerce channel. We started working with them back in 2016 when Todd, Nikolai and Ryan worked out of a bunker in the back of Ponsonby. Since then, we’ve seen incredible growth and transformation!

Our newest project is working alongside Judy and Daniel for SEO on both our New Zealand and Australian websites and not knowing the opportunities that we have been missing. The project (ongoing) has opened our eyes to the importance of SEO - Judy has been a great account manager for this, splitting out quick wins, high priority tasks and work we can do in the background. Richard and myself have learnt so much in this process the numbers also speak for themselves.

What really sets Overdose. apart though, is their attitude. They’re always ready to roll up their sleeves and get stuff done, but they’re also not afraid to challenge us when they think we can do better. This combination of pragmatism and entrepreneurial spirit has been invaluable in our partnership. We’re excited to see what the future holds with these WISE and very capable heads."
