Following the destructive weather events across the upper North Island, New Zealand Media & Entertainment (NZME) has announced one million dollars of advertising will be made available across its print, audio and digital platforms for businesses impacted by these events.

These allocated funds will be used to support business recovery and to advertise products and services to help those in need.

NZME Chief Executive, Michael Boggs, says: “The past 24 hours have created extensive damage in many communities throughout Tāmaki Makaurau and the upper North Island. We understand that now more than ever, local businesses want and need to keep their customers in the know, and we’re here to help.”

As part of the support package, there are a variety of campaigns available for the month of February, valued up to $5,000, subject to availability.
