AUCKLAND, Today: NZME has announced it is partnering with a prestigious event on New Zealand’s sporting calendar, the ASB Classic.
Following a two-year hiatus due to Covid, the premier tennis tournament’s return in January 2023 will be supported by NZME’s audio, print and digital platforms, including the NZ Herald, Newstalk ZB, iHeartRadio, The Hits and ZM.
This is the first time in eight years the ASB Classic has embarked on an exclusive media partnership, and with the recent announcement that world number two Casper Ruud and rising young American star Coco Gauff are confirmed to play in the tournament, it promises much.
