Contact’s head of marketing Sera Flint said her team was looking forward to working with Special Group: “They’ve impressed us at every step, including an unconventional pitch process during the Covid-19 lockdown and we can’t wait to see what their experience and enthusiasm delivers for the next chapter of the Contact brand.”
Tony Bradbourne, CEO/CCO at Special Group said his team were 'very excited' to be working with Contact: “We love their ambition to make a difference to Kiwis by putting their energy where it matters, and their commitment to a low-carbon energy future for New Zealand. Energy is a highly competitive category right now, with consumers having more choice than ever – we’re looking forward to working with a team who have a vision to go well beyond the energy category.”
Says Nick Salter, strategy director at Special Group: “The Contact account represents a challenging, strategic and creatively exciting opportunity which will allow us to collaborate on some very strong work to connect with Kiwis in ways big and small.”
