Media, telecoms & entertainment
Backing better connections in Aotearoa
For nearly 30 years, we've worked alongside telecommunications providers, regional publishers, and media and entertainment organisations serving millions of New Zealanders.
Invisible infrastructure.
Connected communities.
We know what it takes to modernise legacy systems without disrupting service. How to handle scale when breaking news or major events demand it. The importance of data sovereignty and local jurisdiction. The pressure on budgets while trying to meet audience expectations. We know your infrastructure should feel invisible.
Whether you're breaking the latest news, holding power to account, keeping the country connected, helping Kiwi brands reach their audiences, or promoting events your audience can't wait for - we've got the experience to help keep you connected.

1997: Infrastructure thinking from day one
When many were still sceptical about the internet's potential, we saw it differently. We were early investors in NZ's first CBD fibre optic loop - backing open, connected infrastructure before it was obvious. That forward-thinking approach hasn't changed.
2000: Pioneering mobile engagement
We developed real-time fan-participation technology for our telecommunications client to launch at a major sporting event. While it's widely available now, we are proud to have been part of a groundbreaking solution.
2002: E-commerce at telecommunications scale
The ringtone platform we created for our client helped them generate millions of dollars in monthly revenue when New Zealanders personalised their phones. We also created the first online mobile handset and plan e-commerce store in New Zealand.
2010s-present: Transaction infrastructure proven daily
We've been supporting systems that process millions of messages monthly for more than a decade and continue to provide support to organisations that need scale, reliability, and resilience so more Kiwi can connect.
