Television New Zealand (TVNZ) has appointed Motto as its advertising sales representative in Australia, which will provide the specialist resources the broadcaster needs to tell its story in the Australian market.

Glenn McGahan, TVNZ general manager of direct and regional sales, said: "TVNZ is transforming from a broadcast-based business to a digital-first media company, and Motto’s depth of experience with premium digital video products is closely aligned with the journey we’re on."
Cameron Knight, Motto’s co-founder and director, said the Motto team was looking forward to assisting the TVNZ team with building their share of the Australian market.
"We understand how TVNZ operate, and we’re well-placed to help them achieve their ambitious digital growth goals."

Pat Moloughney, Motto’s co-founder and director said it was an exciting time to be partnering with TVNZ following the expansion of their sports broadcast portfolio. He added: "Motto looks forward to working with Australian advertisers wanting to tap into the famous Kiwi sporting spirit."
