About

At Real Communications we are passionate about harnessing the power of positive story-telling to drive social change. Every organisation has fantastic stories just waiting to be told. These hidden gems provide a genuine connection with your audience and positively enhance your brand. Engaging with stakeholders in an authentic way will help you build strong connections with your target market.

Our strong media background provides us with an in-depth understanding of what busy journalists and editors require in terms of articles, videos and photographs. Excellent connections with a wide range of media from newspapers through to television and industry publications enable us to get stories published which reach your target audience. We also connect you with industry partners who are keen to share your story.

Based in North Canterbury, we work with a broad client base in Christchurch and Canterbury, along with nationwide clients. These clients cover a range of industries from local government through to construction, IT, education providers, exporters, healthcare providers, patent law firms and non-profits. We choose to work with clients who share our values of actively supporting their local communities and taking action to create positive social change.
Real Communications is a Regional Business Partners service provider for strategic communications, marketing, and branding services for New Zealand businesses. We are also a Business Service Partner with Enterprise North Canterbury.

We provide two marketing and communications workshops where we work with you to create a marketing and communications plan and content which is tailored to your unique business needs and provides an excellent return on investment.

Eligible businesses may be able to access funding from Regional Business Partners to cover up to 50 per cent of the cost of the workshops. Learn more about the workshops here or contact us for further information. Regional Business Partners is a partnership between New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and Callaghan Innovation.
