He Kupu - Words and stories

Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu

Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu was one of our first clients in 2020, and over the following two years, we developed a strong and positive partnership. As the Whānau Ora commissioning agency for the South Island, their values naturally aligned with ours, and our team loved the opportunity to engage in meaningful work that supported whānau Māori to thrive. Our He Kupu team provided a full suite of communications support for Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu, including project management and storytelling oversight for their digital story campaign, creating social media content, developing and maintaining their website, building their brand, and promoting their range of funding opportunities. We also supported the CEO and boards with strategic communications advice, including media engagement and stakeholder management. In addition, we delivered CQ workshops through our He Tangata and He Ao aho offerings, supporting the cultural development of kaimahi and facilitating strategy sessions with staff, senior leadership, and directors. Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu played a crucial role in creating better outcomes for Māori, and we were proud to have been a small part of the difference they made for whānau and hapori.
