Kia ora [firstname],

In today's newsy, we share that award-winning journalist Damien Venuto is joining the Stuff Digital team as money editor. Finance topics are incredibly important to its readers, says the media company, and they're looking forward to having Venuto on board to help shed further light on this area. Venuto has held roles across the media industry, most recently at One Plus One Communications and the New Zealand Herald, and before that as editor of StopPress and NZ Marketing.

TVNZ has announced it is working with Adobe Real-Time CDP Collaboration to transform audience engagement and advertiser effectiveness. The broadcaster describes the partnership as more than just a technological upgrade but rather a strategic leap forward - get the story below.

Marketing mix modelling is experiencing a resurgence. Brett Camilleri, VP of measurement APAC at Monks, tells us that while the barrier to entry for MMM is lower, the need for robust, reliable measurement remains critical.

DoorDash and FreshChoice have partnered up, with the aim of making grocery shopping for convenient for Kiwis across the country. DoorDash users can browse and buy with the option of same-day delivery or to schedule for a future time.

Les Mills has launched its new yoga series via a new campaign developed by creative agency Motion Sickness. The campaign calls on people to reach their higher state and embrace training in a way that promotes the health of both their body and mind.

Communications agency Rise and Shine is celebrating new client wins: Kiwi beauty brand Essano and Italian restaurant Bossi, based in Auckland. Meanwhile, dentsu Aotearoa CEO Rob Harvey has been promoted to CEO of dentsu ANZ - effective immediately, the change sees Harvey now based between Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne.

All this and more below. Happy reading and if you have news you’d like to share, let us know. Email editor@stoppress.co.nz.

Have a lovely weekend, we'll see you on Tuesday. Mā te wā,
Zahra and the StopPress team.
