Tourism New Zealand’s (TNZ) mission is to increase the value of international visitors to New Zealand.
The marketing strategy of the 100% Pure New Zealand campaign means we work with a wide group of global marketing partners. However, to drive global media efficiency and effectiveness we have a single core global media strategy, planning & buying agency relationship who then execute on our behalf in each territory we operate or advertise within.
