Who we are
We are a team of experienced and talented communications professionals who understand the realities of business. We are trusted advisers to major businesses, central and local government and the not-for-profit sector.
Sustainability – the ability for a business to continue successfully operating now and into the future within its unique business, social and environmental context - is a pressing issue for citizens, investors and stakeholders today, and is at the core of what we do. Established by Nikki Wright in 2006, Wright Communications has developed our sustainability expertise to keep pace with the changing business environment. Our team are all fluent in assisting businesses to maintain trust and reputation, avoiding the negative consequences of losing step with key stakeholders. Whether communicating with investors, shareholders, customers, iwi, Government, staff or communities, Wright Communications can support, guide or lead clients through the maze of competing interests to attain shared goals.
Nikki Wright deals personally with every client, and each consultant enjoys building valued client relationships.
Pro bono support
As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we form long-term relationships with charities whose goals particularly align with our values, including Environmental Choice New Zealand, Presbyterian Support Northern and Surf Lifesaving Northern Region. We help raise awareness of the important issues they address and support them with a mix of pro-bono and reduced-cost services.
We come to work every day to help our clients ‘do the right thing’. We believe in the power of public relations to contribute to a more sustainable Aotearoa by achieving a balance between the intentions of the organisations we represent and the legitimate concerns of their stakeholders.
We accomplish this by providing a broad suite of corporate communications and marketing communications services, including stakeholder engagement, communications strategy and planning, internal communications and change management, and issues and crisis management service offerings.
We seek to do significant work that will enhance our society and our environment. We always aim to innovate with our service offerings and stay at the leading edge of best practice.
Leading New Zealand organisations choose us for our experienced multi-disciplinary consulting team and our commitment to a high standard of professionalism. We have been recognised by our peers as one of the best agencies in New Zealand.
