As alert levels gradually lower throughout the country, the New Zealand Tech and Innovation Story (Tech Story) brand development continues.
The development of the Tech Story narrative, brand essence and messaging is a significant milestone in our journey, and we’d like to thank James Hurman and the team at Previously Unavailable for their help and expertise in this.
Last month, we reported that our workstream is in the Create phase. This involves the creation of the Tech Story brand, assets, stories and online platforms for our local and international audiences. In collaboration with our creative lead partner AMO Studios, we’re seeing our story brand and messaging come to life. Next week, we will see the first iteration of the Tech Story’s brand development and we can’t wait to check it out!
Headquartered in Tairāwhiti Gisborne, AMO Studios’ vision is to be a global force in the content creation industry while maintaining a model of inclusivity and value sharing.
“We are excited to collaborate with the New Zealand Tech Alliance and our Collab partners to realise the story of technology and innovation in New Zealand. It is a story that is ripe for telling internationally, and we look forward to being part of the journey in bringing New Zealand’s technology mindset and values to global attention. The use of Tech Story marketing assets and messaging in-market by our tech companies and partners will be critical to attracting talent and establishing New Zealand as a tech force on the rise,” says Sam Witters, co-founder of AMO and TORO Studios.
What’s next?
In the coming months, the New Zealand Tech and Innovation Story will be shared through local activation and an international marketing campaign to targeted audiences and markets. It will be supported by a range of marketing assets that our tech businesses can utilise in their own activities to help them internationally – growing revenue, attracting investment, and attracting talent.
