What we do
Bring creativity, technology and data together to create growth.
Together re-connects the thinking, technology, and data specialisms that traditional models have pulled apart.

We work as both integrated media agency and consulting partner.

Our Offering
Our services are designed to drive growth for progressive businesses. We group our capabilities into:
Full Service Media
Together delivers leading edge strategic media planning and buying services, with a fully transparent operating system.
We built the agency for a media world defined by attracting the attention of the most valuable audiences. This was grounded on a belief in genuinely impartial advisory. This means we reject legacy media buying and trading practices; we don’t take commissions, operate rebates or principal-based trading so our clients know they’re getting independent advice. Our business isn’t founded on aggregating and controlling media buying, it’s based on using our skills, technology and data to add business value.
We’re experts in demand- and audience-based media planning and applying one-to-one planning principles to audiences at scale. Our technology and audience identification process have been developed for NZ and leverage the best global and local partners to provide our clients competitive advantage. We combine this with a thirst for creativity and innovation to capture attention and create positive change.

Full Service Customer Experience Management
Data-driven programmes that grow your business by making the relationship between your brand and your customer more valuable to both.
Delivering truly omnichannel customer experiences means putting back together the Owned and Paid media capabilities that legacy agency structures have pulled apart. This is one of the reasons Together was established. We have deep expertise in Owned and Paid channels, and the technology platforms and data infrastructure that enables them. As a result, we are unrivalled in the New Zealand market in our ability to design and execute seamless journeys that employ both.
Through our Connect team, we engineer “total connection” by designing and executing individually addressable customer programmes that uniquely combine deep Omnichannel expertise with the human factors that create a meaningful connection. We are experts in 1:1 communication planning and the delivery of personalisation at scale. We combine this with commercial acumen, a drive to be ambitious on our clients’ behalf and the desire to work with them to create positive change in their customers’ experience.
