A walk down memory lane… as we transition the NZTVAs to the NZSAs (The New Zealand Screen Awards - welcoming film categories into the celebration) for 2025, we look back at some super special New Zealand Television Award moments, awards and faces over the years.

Film hasn’t been celebrated in Aotearoa for many years so we are thrilled to be weaving it into our successful production. More awards, more winners, more manaakitanga 💛🎉🙌🍾

A very special piece of New Zealand film with amazing talent behind it.

Another year, another Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki annual ball! This year the ball was wrapped around the current exhibition, ‘Olafur Eliasson: your curious journey’ which is an experimental collection with several nods to the environment and four elements. We designed an event that spoke to our creative and curious nature as humans, with various activations there to excite and delight the senses, leading to the creation of the Curious Ball.

We took our guests on a journey from entrance right through to the exhibition doors. Guests walked into an underwater world with all things blue and ocean-led, then into ‘middle earth’ which was a warm, firey atmosphere, and up to the nature bath which was set up like a native NZ garden. The story was told through strong use of AV production, dressing, event design, curious canapés and creative cocktails. To further add to the night, we had pop-up performances from Te Ohorere Williams, Atamira Dance & Ctenophora Co with NZDJ Collective spinning tunes all night.

A look at the Deloitte NZ Top 200 Awards for 2024! Janda's last production for the year.

This year’s event focusing on the theme, ‘leading the next wave’ embracing new opportunities in challenging times.

We were delighted when the Auckland Art Gallery asked us to produce the Walters Prize event for 2024; Aotearoa’s largest and most prestigious contemporary art award.

We collaborated with Kyle Street, owner and head Chef of Culprit., who took inspiration from each of the artists and designed a menu paying homage to each of their work.

From bespoke arrival cocktails (thanks to Waiheke Distilling Co) and an entry amuse-bouche, to the 4-course meal, and intricate floral tables scape (designed by The Botanist), we created an unforgettable experience that honoured this year's artists. Some manaakitanga we are very proud of!
