Kia ora [firstname],

The moment you've all been waiting for is here - the finalists of the 2025 YouTube NZ Marketing Awards have been announced! Today's newsy includes which brands have come away with the most nods froms judges - spoiler alert, Kiwibank leads the charge with 11 nominations across the board.

Meanwhile, we take a look at the impact of digital out-of-home in medical locations on audience engagement due to the power of dwell time. Over in France, indie agency Motion Sickness is celebrating not one but two Grand Prix wins at Cannes, taking their total tally to 6 gongs at the major awards show. DDB Aotearoa have launched a new campaign with Macca's New Zealand across the LUMO digital network: Yum only takes a moment, which utilises Google Maps, Macca's Drive Thru data and LUMO's live updating technology to encourage hungry drivers to stop for a snack while commuting through traffic.

In case you missed it, last week, the Commerce Commission of New Zealand gave the green light to the OMG-IPG merger - read more on this below.

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

See you on Friday - mā te wā,
Zahra and the StopPress team.
