“I’ve been a fan of Contagion’s modern world marketing approach – cunningly blending business solutions with creative ones – for a good while now. Dean’s assembled a great team of diverse thinkers and I’m delighted to now count myself one of them,” says Maisey.
Taylor further adds: “Over the last 12 months our new client wins have just been phenomenal, these include: Toitu, Good George Brewing, Kernel Wealth, Hafele, Thermomix, NZOnAir and IMS Projects. These are great additions to our existing client base of fantastic, New Zealand companies who have commissioned new work to run both here and globally.”
