Kia ora [firstname],

Happy Friday! Today, we hear from Live Nation's Kristy Rosser who dives deeper into the data from the 2025 Love Song study to reveal interesting differences between Gen Z Kiwis and Australians, and how they engage with brands and experiences. NZME has announced its new video streaming service, Herald NOW, will launch next week, hosted by broadcaster Ryan Bridge. 2degrees and TBWA\ New Zealand continue the telcos campaign to promote healthier phone behaviours, with lullabies created from notifications sounds to remind Kiwis to put their phone to bed. Motion Sickness has welcomed five new hires to its team and UFO Rodeo expands with the acquisition of Wellington creative agency Wrestler.

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 wā,
Zahra and the StopPress team.
