With more than 20 publications – and ODT.co.nz – Allied Media can deliver you the South Island, says national sales manager Nic Dahl.
It’s the 1860s. New Zealand is small and half-built. But Dunedin is booming. Gold has been discovered in Otago and the city is one of the largest in the country. Certainly the wealthiest. It’s no surprise that New Zealand’s first daily newspaper is born here, with the Otago Daily Times first rolling off the press on November 15, 1861.
Advocacy was part of the ODT’s DNA from the start, and it’s still committed to championing the South today. Allied Media publishes more than 20 newspapers – from Blenheim to Bluff – all with that same South Island focus.
It’s why we employ more than 90 journalists across the South Island. A deliberate investment in quality local journalism that reflects how people live, work and play here in the South.
When building your media plans, Allied Media can deliver you the South Island.
Too often, the South is treated as less important than it really is. The South Island has around 23% of New Zealand’s population. That might not sound like much, but it comes with real economic power.
