Testimonials

Global Brands Operating in New Zealand

Paul has a strong understanding of the media landscape and a practical, disciplined approach to shaping engagement. He is skilled at translating complex topics into clear, accessible narratives for a range of audiences and aligning messages with current context. I highly value the way we have worked together on short turnarounds and with senior stakeholders.

Kieran Jull, New Zealand Marketing Manager, Arup

Pursuit was the agency of record for the Meta family of apps in New Zealand for nine years until 2023. Their team consistently provided insightful media relations advice and on the ground support to our regional team during a period of dramatic growth and change in our business.

Joanna Stevens, Director of Communications, Australia & New Zealand, Meta

Agency partners are key to telling Deel’s story globally. In New Zealand, Pursuit has our back, engaging with media and industry partners on our behalf, providing local intel, and providing on the ground support for my regional colleagues. Dedicated, super experienced and just a great team, I would recommend them to any brand looking for representation across New Zealand.
