“We’ve really valued working with the Publik team. They take the time to understand our business, our brand and what we’re trying to achieve, and consistently turn that into thoughtful, high-quality work. They’re responsive, collaborative and a pleasure to work with. From supporting media announcements to developing crisis communications toolkits, Publik brings a strong understanding of both the seafood sector and the media landscape.”
Monique Hatfull, New Zealand King Salmon
General Manager - Relationships and Communications
“Publik PR is a trusted extension of my team, providing the additional expertise and capacity that’s invaluable when working as a sole communications operator. Over the years, they’ve supported us with government briefing documents and media relations advice to social media campaigns, careers promotional material and everything in between. They understand our business and the wider sector that we operate within, are highly responsive and always great to work with.”
Annabel Scaife, Sealord
Public Affairs and Communications Manager
I’ve worked with Steph, Jamie, and the team at Publik for the last few years, although the relationship between Te Piki Oranga and Publik goes back more than five years.
What I appreciate most is that it genuinely feels like a partnership. The team listens to us; understands the direction we want to take and works alongside us rather than coming in and telling us what our communications should look like. They understand how important it is that our kaupapa, tikanga Māori and whānau-centred way of working are reflected in what we put out into the world.
Having Publik alongside us also makes a real difference to our workload. Like many kaupapa Māori organisations, our kaimahi can wear multiple hats, so being able to draw on a team we know, and trust takes some of that pressure away and gives us more space to focus on the other mahi that needs our attention.
Steph and I have built a really good working relationship over the years. We can have open conversations about what we need, what our priorities are and how we can make things work within our budget. We’ve found ways of working that are cost-conscious for Te Piki Oranga while still getting the benefit of the great mahi and expertise the Publik team brings.
For me, that is where the real value of the relationship sits. Publik has taken the time to understand Te Piki Oranga, our kaupapa and our whānau, and they feel like an extension of our team when we need them.
