Kia ora [firstname],

You may have noticed that Tuesday's email arrived in your inbox with the greeting "Kia ora [first name]" - a gentle reminder that this email is put together by a human who sometimes forgets how email tags work. It's been a busy old week, which is why Friday's email is coming to you much later than normal - but I promise it's filled with some good reads for your weekend or Monday morning. Yesterday, I attended the release of Connect by Live Nation's annual study Love Song, all about what makes Gen Z tick, especially when it comes to music - read all about it and get an insight into the music tastes of yours truly along the way.

Entries for the 2025 YouTube NZ Marketing Awards are now open - so if you have a rocking campaign you'd like to enter, you can find out more in this newsletter. Meanwhile, 2degrees and TBWA\New Zealand have launched SupportHER, an initiative that scales up the telco's sponsorship of women and girls' sport in Aotearoa.

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.

See you next week - mā te wa,

Zahra and the StopPress team.
