Te Wā Tuku Reo Māori

For Purpose helped make history by supporting Te Taura Whiri to create the single largest celebration of the Māori language ever.

We managed the paid promotion and digital strategy that enabled over 1 million New Zealanders to participate in the 2020 Māori Language Moment.

We love working with kaupapa Māori organisations and this project was extremely satisfying. We were and continue to be extremely passionate about delivering content for Māori and tau iwi audiences and encouraging Pākehā to celebrate reo Māori.

It is a privilege to work with te reo Māori. It is a taonga tuku iho.
