New WellingtonNZ campaign maps local business brilliance

WellingtonNZ has teamed up with local businesses in a campaign to attract skilled people to Wellington- Te Whanganui-a-Tara, as the destination to come work, live, and play.

Ten businesses tell their stories of how they embraced the ‘Wellington effect’, and succeeded in the creative capital, through a multi-channelled campaign called ‘Only in Wellington’.

“There’s a creative energy and sense of resilience… Whether it’s the people you meet or the places you go, once you embrace the city, you feel it,” says founder of 3 MƒÅori Boys Joe Harawira.

The campaign includes Joe Harawira of 3 MƒÅori Boys, Rachel Taulelei from Oho, Claire & James Fuller from Hnry, Sonya Williams of Sharesies, Sir Richard Taylor and Tania Rodger of WƒìtƒÅ Workshop, Roman Jewell founder of Fix & Fogg, Lorenzo Bresolin of Scopa & 1154, Jos Ruffell from Garage Project, Wellington On a Plate’s Sarah Meikle, and Delivereasy’s Nick Foster.

WellingtonNZ general manager of marketing and communications Todd Barberel says the Only in Wellington campaign aims to highlight what is possible in a region renowned for creativity.

“Wellington is full of opportunity, and a special kind of magic,” he says. “It’s a place where you can dream big. A place where you can meaningfully live, work, and thrive.”

“The effect of Wellington Te Whanganui-a-Tara as a place, on its people and communities, has helped fuel business innovation, entrepreneurship and talent growth,” says Todd.

Wellington is known for a diverse range of industries – including science and technology, screen ranging from films to gaming, craft food and beverage, sustainability, government, and the arts.

WellingtonNZ has created a series of tools to support local businesses, including a free digital marketing webinar series Unlocking Digital Marketing, covering everything from retail online sales and digital marketing strategies, to content creation and social media.

Only in Wellington has been developed by WellingtonNZ in partnership with advertising agency EightyOne. Aiming to inspire people of all walks of life, the interviews and stories of these successful Wellingtonians are shared through video and text, for a world-wide audience to explore.

“This was a great opportunity to celebrate the profound effect this city has had on so many people who’ve gone on to do amazing things,” says EightyOne executive creative director Chris Bleackley.
