We’re a marketing agency dedicated to connecting people and brands by creating opportunities for interaction. We work both directly with clients and with advertising, media and/or PR agencies to create trial opportunities and other forms of engagement in a wide range of environments from supermarkets, malls and major events to facebook and focus groups.


Our blog provides updates on projects we're working on as well as our take on other goings on in the world. We also regularly add more detailed case studies to the site and of course you can find out more about our people and how to get in touch.

University campuses around NZ are getting a taste of the crazy Japanese game show genre as our Naked Panda team travel the country in August. From giant rubber bands that just happen to fit nicely under a student snout to panda helmets with built in buckets, sometimes it is really hard not to love our job!

WELCOME TO JO AND ANNA

joannaWe’ve had the pleasure of welcoming two great new additions to our team in recent weeks. Account Director Jo Bennett (left) arrives after a long and successful stint at DDB’s events, experiential and PR arm Mango, while Account Manager Anna Kemp (right) made the move from ACP Media. It already feels like they’ve both been part of the team for years, in the best possible way, and we know all the clients lucky enough to work with them will be very pleased.

KEEP WALKING…

August 1st, 2011

It’s hard when there are deals this good in duty free! Just spend $99 on your favourite Johnnie Walker and get a free travel bag and this isn’t a cheap and nasty freebie, it’s almost worth buying a budget ticket to Australia for! Have a chat to our team at Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch Airports to find out more and have a wee dram on the spot.

HOP TO IT

April 16th, 2011

Those who catch buses in Auckland regularly will know the pain of their bus being stopped processing boarding passengers for as much time as they are actually driving. Wellingtonians haven’t had this problem since the launch of Snapper cards with their simple tag-on tag-off process some time ago and now it’s Auckland’s turn with Auckland Transport’s new HOP card. HOP cards with the Snapper logo can also be used for purchases at a rapidly growing number of retailers around Auckland. We have staff out educating the public and retailers about the new system and will soon be assisting tens of thousands of commuters to swap their old Go Rider cards for the fancy new HOP cards.
