Pitching is an essential part of what makes our industry tick. To find out how the best in the business stand out from the crowd and make an impression during a pitch, LBBonline - Little Black Book asked industry leaders, including FCB Aotearoa’s Business Development Director, Lucy Sparks, for their top tips and tricks. Hint: clarity and chemistry are key.    “Prioritize connection. Don’t be afraid to push past the confines of the process; create moments for genuine engagement and interaction within your presentations.” Master your pitch: https://lnkd.in/egH3fuds #FCB #LBB #Pitching #Advertising #NewBusiness

Mitre 10's big birthday celebration was the perfect opportunity to test a new media opportunity and be the first brand to take advantage of YouTube Ad on Pause. A new way to reach the over 2 Million kiwis streaming YouTube on TV.

If you’ve worked in the New Zealand ad industry over the last 25 years, you’ve likely met Sarah Hodgetts or Hodgey, as she’s lovingly referred to. Hodgey is one of the most vivacious, hilarious, creative, and passionate strategists and an absolute weapon of a woman. Her lust for life is second to none, all while being a solo parent to her 16-year-old child, which makes the following sentence particularly hard to write. After already battling breast cancer six years ago, the beast is back, this time in the form of Stage 4 triple negative metastatic breast cancer, the hardest to fight and most aggressive. And she needs our help. We’re having a Hodgey’s Good Shit Garage Sale on Saturday, August 10th from 10 am-2 pm at the FCB Auckland office. There will be a sausage sizzle, live music, and hopefully lots of good shit for sale. 100% of the sale proceeds will go to Hodgey. So, if you have good shit in good condition – we’re talking designer brands you’ve not worn in years at the back of the wardrobe or that Kartell lamp gathering dust under the house – then we’d love it. We’ll take all the good shit you’ve got, including furniture! You can drop off your items at FCB reception at 57 Wellington Street, during business hours. We’ll also have late night drops, up to 7.30pm, on Wednesday, July 31st, and August 7th. The closing date for all items is Thursday, August 8th at 5.30 pm. Contact [email protected] with any questions. See you there! If you can’t help out with the Garage Sale then a Givealittle fundraising page has been set up here - https://lnkd.in/gab47DSg. If you’re in a position to donate, big or small, check out the link and please give it a share. We need her around for as long as possible.

To celebrate 50 years of Mitre 10, we hosted a get together to toast the team. The highlight of the evening? Team FCB and Mitre 10 putting our DIY skills to the test - you wouldn’t guess who came out on top. Cheers to 50 years Mitre 10 (New Zealand) Limited! We’re stoked to be your wingmates.

We’re thrilled for our clients AMP that the Investars work was recognised by the industry as Best in Show at last nights Beacons, also taking out 2 Silvers and 2 Golds - Best Use of Technology and Best Creative Media Idea. The best, most effective work comes when creative thinking, data and media come together to make more than the sum of the parts. Even with ‘traditional’ channels like email. A huge congratulations to everyone involved!

Congratulations to our very own Madeline, Aaron, Tim, and Anne who have just won the New Zealand Media & Entertainment (NZME) Imprint Competition, celebrating excellence in print media, for their work with Tux and the Puppy News-pee-per.

Super stoked to have 8 finailsts across three of our biggest clients.   Big shout out to Foodstuffs North Island Limited , NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi and Nestlé.    Finger, knees and toes crossed.
