Together was founded in late 2018 by experienced media leaders frustrated with legacy practices in media agencies.

The era of network-based media buying scale was closing, and a new era of media and marketing was emerging; one in which strategic thinking, creativity and the best talent combined with cutting edge data and technology would deliver marketing success. A new model – part media agency, part technology and data consultancy – was born for this new era.

We launched with one ambition: to be a force of positive progress for our clients, our people and the industry.

Since launch we’ve developed independent capabilities, products and partnerships that meet this vision, and attracted many of the most talented media, data and technology specialists in New Zealand to help deliver it.

The positive progress we’ve delivered for clients has been reflected in being named Media Agency of the Year and IAB Digital Agency of the Year twice.

While we pride ourselves on our technical capabilities, it’s our people that power Together. Our shared values drive us to be different, to never settle and commit fully to our clients’ success. We want everyone that joins team Together to do the best, most fulfilling work of their careers in a supportive and welcoming environment that feels different. Everything from our benefits, rituals and celebrations are in service of this.

We also continue to play an active role championing progress in our industry, with our team giving time to leadership roles across Commercial Communication Council’s Media Committee, the Board of Independent Media Agencies New Zealand (IMANZ), the Data Council of the NZ Marketing Association and multiple IAB New Zealand working groups.

Together are also a Pride Pledge Gold partner, Toitū Enviromark Gold certified and a proud supporter of Unltd, the Creative Spirit programme and Ad Net Zero.
