About Us
Village PR & Marketing has a reputation for changing perceptions. Influencer marketing – and in particular the use of micro-influencer campaigns with the creative use of bloggers and a range of social media has become increasingly powerful.
Advertising blindness has crept in and brands are seeking new ways to shine. We work with powerful influencers who talk to their extended networks about products and services that touch, move and inspire them. They then start genuine conversations about clients’ products and services. There have been a lot of people watching from the sidelines to see proof points of this new form of marketing – the good news is we have evidence of its effectiveness in impacting sales.
We are aggressively open-minded and this non-judgmental way of thinking fuels our creativity.
Testimonials
In one year 90,000
more New Zealand
households started
buying avocados than
the previous year
NEW ZEALAND AVOCADO
“Village PR have been a strong partner of NZ Avocado over the past 6 years. They have anticipated our needs, pushing the boundaries with us about what we might and can achieve. Not only that, they are fun, they are innovative, we laugh with and at ourselves as we brainstorm new and sometimes crazy ideas about how we raise the visibility of our industry and the amazing avocado. They deliver, they work with us not for us and they deserve recognition as a terrific PR agency.”
Jen Scoular – CEO, NZ Avocado
We are the agency

Village PR have been an extremely valuable asset and very much a partner in every sense of the word on this journey. They listen to their clients’ needs and deliver over and above what is required. It is great to work with such a proactive and passionate team of people.”
