AUCKLAND, Today: Ogilvy NZ is justifiably pleased with the results it achieved at last month’s Best Design Awards in Wellington, where the agency picked up three Gold Pins, a Silver and two Bronzes.

Over 1100 people attended the show, said to be the largest of its kind in Australasia.

Ogilvy head of design Nathan Chambers said: “It was a special night hosting our clients from Waikato Tainui, NZ Police and Sanitarium.

“On the night they were all winners. We were especially privileged to host Kiingi Tuuheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero and the royal family, including the Kiingi’s son, Korotangi Paki, who helped with the design of the Te Hookioi magazine artwork.
