New Zealand is rapidly earning a reputation as a place where creative ideas start – and the rest of the world follows.
New Zealand companies have a strong sense of how design can give them the edge, capture imagination and create products that are truly unique and desirable. Fisher and Paykel has redefined the market with its ergonomic and environmentally friendly dishwasher and Orca has created the triathlete wetsuit of choice for many Olympic hopefuls. Fashion labels such as Trelise Cooper, Zambesi, Karen Walker, Nom D and World have impressed international buyers and stylists at key fashion events around the world, and our combined Maori, Pacific Island, Asian and European heritage has produced a dynamic musical landscape not easily categorised.
Peter Jackson’s astonishing success with the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy has alerted the world not only to New Zealand’s screen production capability, but also to the country’s burgeoning multimedia, TVC, visual effects, post production, game development and interactive talents. New Zealand is also one of the most wired nations in the world - high-speed secure broadband connections can zoom an hour of footage shot in Queenstown to editors in Los Angeles in just six minutes.
In New Zealand, we’re always looking for new ideas and ways of doing things. Be inspired by our environment and blend of cultures – be somewhere where you can make a difference.
