After winning Place Brand of the Year at 2020’s City Nation Place awards conference and following an article with The Place Brand Observer in March 2021, two of Tātaki Auckland Unlimited’s brand and marketing leaders were interviewed by place brand expert Florian Kaefer.
This interview podcast with Shelley Watson, Clare Barker (both Tātaki Auckland Unlimited) and Florian Kaefer (The Place Brand Observer) delves into our place brand journey so far, the strengths and benefits of Auckland as a place to invest, live, work and visit, how we’ve approached city branding, and how important stakeholder communication is with our city's marketers and business leaders. We also touch on our stance on climate change and sustainability, and how the global covid-19 pandemic has influenced and changed our decision-making and our ways of working.

"Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland is known as a place for being easy to do business, innovative and collaborative - a wonderful place for investors and entrepreneurs. "
