This week, StopPress attended the launch of Love Song 2026, Connect by Live Nation's survey of Gen Z and how they are engaging with culture. Click here to read my report, which looks at the study's key findings.

Independent media agency Together is expanding its planning team in Auckland, announcing four senior hires. The new staff bring a breadth of international experience as well as deep local knowledge.

We hear from Vistar Media's Sandra Scott who discusses outcome-based measurement and how businesses can focus on the real world impact of out of home.

TVNZ and BNZ have partnered up on the broadcaster's new morning business show. BNZ Business Breakfast will launch on May 11, running from 6am to 6.30am.

In the campaign world, Barfoot & Thompson and Pitchblack Partners are celebrating Blues fans with a new initiative - find out what they did here. Meanwhile, One NZ honoured Conservation Week with a cheeky rebrand.

Before we go, Whakaata Māori is inviting Aotearoa to take pause and reflect this Anzac Day. Their live coverage of the Dawn Service features award-winning singer Moana Maniapoto (Te Arawa, Ngāti Tūwharetoa).

There's lots more to read on the site. If you have news you’d like to share, email us at editor@stoppress.co.nz.


Have a lovely long weekend. We’ll be back next Tuesday.
