PR agency Payper has opened a new office in central Christchurch while relocating its Auckland operation.
The Christchurch office is based at Qb Studios on High Street, with Payper co-founder Adrien Taylor now permanently located in the city and plans underway to grow the local team throughout the year.
Meanwhile, co-founder Lewis Hampton has moved Payper’s Auckland office to Qb Studios on Ponsonby Road, shifting from its previous Point Chevalier base. The company also plans to grow its Auckland-based team in 2026.
In the thick of it
“Christchurch has an incredible energy right now – particularly in tech, startups and creative industries,” says Taylor.
“Opening a permanent office here is a natural step and a long-term commitment to a city that’s played a huge role in my career.”
Hampton says being close to clients and culture was key to the move in Auckland.
“Ponsonby is right in the thick of it,” he says. “Having offices in Auckland and Christchurch keeps us close to the stories, the founders and the brands shaping New Zealand.”
Later this year, Payper also plans on opening an office in Sydney or Melbourne.
