Today on The MOST 100.4 FM Business Hour, sponsored by Govett Quilliam, Dr Naomi Woodier-Harris and Jordan McFadyen spoke with Andre Nobbs from GQ and Jessica Parker Taranaki Garden Festival Manager and Chair of the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce.
A few standout themes from the conversation;
- Taranaki’s events and experiences are economic drivers, not just entertainment. They bring visitors, visitor nights, and genuine momentum into town.
- Sponsorship works best when it is values aligned and community led. The impact is wider than the event itself, through accommodation, hospitality, and local supply chains.
- Sustainable leadership is about focus. Knowing when to say no, and building teams where people can take ownership.
- A simple but powerful reminder. If we do not support what comes here, it will not keep coming. Showing up and buying local matters.
