Kia ora [firstname],

Happy Friday! Today, we bring news from the NZ Radio and Podcast Awards, where NZME was recognised over 30 times across its stable of platforms. RNZ, Pacific Media Network, Newsroom, and Mediaworks were among others celebrated on the night. Contact Energry has appointed independent media agency Together for media planning and buying, data and customer services. WPP has launched WPP Media - formerly GroupM - as a fully integrated, AI-powered media agency. It says the change comes as a response to growing demand from marketers. Meanwhile Antony Young rounds up global industry headlines from earlier in the week and Motion Sickness and FINCH are celebrating four awards from Clio Health for the Make New Zealand the best place to have herpes campaign.

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.

Enjoy the weekend - we'll see you on Tuesday. Mā te wā,
Zahra and the StopPress team.
