AUCKLAND, Tuesday: Colmar Brunton and Kantar TNS collected 10 awards between them, dominating proceedings at the NZ Research Association Effectiveness Awards, held at the Hilton on Friday.
Colmar Brunton and Kantar TNS both took home two platinum awards and two gold each, plus received a further platinum award for a collaborative project completed for Māori Television.
Kantar NZ ceo Jason Shoebridge said: “In a world first for indigenous broadcasters, this complex and innovative research isolated the impact that Māori Television has on the revitalisation of te reo Māori in Aotearoa.”
Kantar TNS also received the Effective Partnership Award for work undertaken with Visit Ruapehu to help identify opportunities to carve out its own niche as a regional destination. This particular piece of work titled From maunga to moana, also received two gold awards for the Community Advancement and Business to Business categories.
“Both agencies rightly pride themselves on the impact that their work has on their clients,” Shoebridge said, “and to see this publicly recognised is a testament to the expertise of the teams in both Kantar TNS and Colmar Brunton and the collaborative relationships they have with their clients.
“It is also significant that many of our award winning entries combined market research with our strengths in areas such as big data analytics and design-led thinking to deliver superior insight, which in turn led to the impact this work had on our clients’ businesses.”
The awards – held every two years – recognise excellence in research, data and insights and honour those agencies that have a real impact on their clients’ businesses.
The judges included one agency rep – Rainger & Rolfe managing partner Ant Rainger.
“The awards – held every two years – recognise excellence in research, data and insights.”
