03Why us

The broadest view of New Zealand rugby

Sport is our niche, and rugby is where we go deepest: community clubs, provincial unions, the women's game, sevens and Super Rugby. We're fortunate to work across more of New Zealand rugby than any other agency, and every client, in any sport, gets what we learn.

About us

Where we work

  • Community rugby
  • Hilux NPC
  • Farah Palmer Cup
  • Heartland Championship
  • Super Rugby Aupiki
  • Super Rugby Pacific
  • HSBC NZ Sevens
  • Global Youth Sevens
  • A network, not a headcount

    Photographers, videographers and creators around the country, briefed by us, so the right people are at the ground every weekend.

  • Inside the system

    We work to New Zealand Rugby's own systems, from the photo library to the NZRPA imagery rules, and with the clubs and unions as partners.

  • Our own fan media

    We also run The Dabble, our fan first rugby media brand. We know what fans share because we publish for them too.

04How we work

Measured, not guessed

Behind the content sits our own analysis engine. It reads every post, every week, so the next round is planned on what actually travelled.

We build our own tools, AI included, so a small, senior team runs channels like a big one.

  • 1,307Bulls posts measured to find what sells a membership. A pitch that rides a player's story did up to 7.5 times a normal post.
  • 337match clips pulled apart mid season. We changed what got clipped off the feed, not how it was edited.
  • Dailymorning brief for our clients: yesterday's numbers and the day's moves, with an owner on each.

From the people we work with

“It is no coincidence that their innovative approach to sports marketing has seen our Amber & Black fans and rugby community grow a much deeper emotional connection to Taranaki Rugby.”

We've seen exponential growth in season ticket holders, match attendances, social media followers and engagement and several successful commercial partner brand campaigns.
