“Through their world-class global network and best-in-class tools and systems, Mindshare will enable Tourism New Zealand to continue using innovative media targeting to ensure New Zealand is kept top of mind for potential visitors.”

Mindshare’s chief strategy officer and global business lead, Joe Lunn, said: “It’s a privilege to be partnering with Tourism New Zealand on their journey to be the world’s most authentic destination storytellers.

“They truly value the contribution that strategic thinking, media innovation and a world-class network can provide in helping to grow their brand and transform their business.”

Tourism New Zealand’s partnership with Mindshare will be effective from 1 July 2019.
