Hear from our partners

“Partnering with the EMA on the Holidays Act Roadshow was one of the strongest sponsorship experiences we’ve had. The offering was clear from day one, everything was seamlessly organised, and the team made us feel like a natural, well-integrated part of each event.

Through EMA, we were able to step into a trusted network that reaches thousands of Kiwi businesses — the exact community we want to support. We share a common vision for helping organisations navigate change with confidence, and that alignment really showed in how the Roadshow came together.

The reach and engagement we saw across the series was fantastic, and being part of business-community events of this calibre is something that would be difficult and costly to deliver on our own.

Overall, it was an outstanding partnership and one we’d be excited to build on.”
