Our services

We specialise in providing PR services tuned to the needs of organisations who want to communicate with, and win over, audiences.

We do this by helping clients use real language to act like and

deal with real people.

Public relations

We can carry out everything you need to communicate with your audiences; stage events, get you into the media, staff talking points, write and design material.

Government relations

We have helped companies win some of the most high profile political battles in recent memory. We know what to say, how to say it, when to say it, and who you should tell.

Media relations

Our team are some of New Zealand’s most adept media practitioners who’ve managed public profiles for public and private sector organisations, large and small.

Corporate advocacy

We work out why you are talking to others, what you want them to do or think, and how you will get them to do it. Our strategies are clever, succinct, and practical. They succeed.

Lobbying strategy

We specialise in designing lobbying strategies. We know the workings of Parliament, MPs and staff, and officials across government. We devise the solution to achieving your goal, and help you work out what to say, who to tell, and when to say it.

Public issues and crises

We think ahead, to play out all the possibilities and chart a route through the public and private minefield.
