SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA | 1 SEPTEMBER, 2026

‍ ‍

WeThinkMedia (WTM) has been appointed the exclusive Australian sales representative for JCDecaux New Zealand, effective 1 September 2026.

The partnership gives Australian media agencies and brands a direct, locally based route into JCDecaux's New Zealand portfolio, spanning premium digital and static Large Format, the national SMARTFRAME network, and airport media across Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown.

‍The appointment brings together JCDecaux's global Out-of-Home expertise and high-quality New Zealand assets with WTM's established agency relationships, market knowledge and specialist focus on helping Australian advertisers connect with New Zealand audiences.

‍JCDecaux is the world's leading Out-of-Home media company, operating across 79 countries and reaching an estimated 850 million people each day. In New Zealand, its national portfolio includes more than 600 touchpoints, a growing digital network and exclusive airport advertising partnerships at three of the country's busiest gateways.

‍“JCDecaux is a natural fit for WTM — a premium global media business with a New Zealand portfolio that combines scale, quality and high-impact environments. It also complements the partners we already represent, giving Australian brands and agencies the ability to connect Out-of-Home with leading news, content, television, streaming and audio environments through one door.”

— Jane Stucci, Commercial Director, WeThinkMedia

Phil Eastwood, Executive General Manager, JCDecaux New Zealand, said:

‍“WTM already plays a central role in connecting Australian advertisers with New Zealand media. They understand the nuances of the market and the value of New Zealand audiences. As demand from Australian brands continues to grow, this partnership gives them a simple, locally supported way to access JCDecaux’s premium New Zealand network. It’s a practical step that strengthens cross Tasman alignment and supports the continued growth of our New Zealand business.”

‍‍

Peter Wiltshire, Founder and Director, WeThinkMedia, said:

‍“This partnership is a natural next step for us. Since we started WeThinkMedia, our goal has been to give Australian advertisers one trusted, locally based way into the New Zealand market — across Television, Video, Publishing, Audio, Programmatic and Out-of-Home. JCDecaux is exactly the calibre of partner this portfolio aspires to, and it reinforces what we already know: New Zealand deserves the same level of attention and investment as any market on an Australian media plan. Let's not forget the benefit of the currency which is largely in favour of AU to NZ investment.”

Strengthening the Home of New Zealand Media in Australia

‍The JCDecaux appointment further strengthens WTM's position as the Home of New Zealand Media in Australia, adding a super-premium layer to WTM's Out-of-Home offering across airports, roadside, digital and SMARTFRAME environments. It sits alongside WTM's representation of leading New Zealand media partners including Stuff, Sky New Zealand and MediaWorks, and complements WTM's existing Out-of-Home partnerships with The Programmatic Bureau, New Zealand's leading programmatic Out-of-Home specialist, and Phantom Billstickers, known for street posters, activations and custom builds. Together, the three partners give Australian brands and agencies access to a complete Out-of-Home solution in New Zealand, from premium high-impact formats through to data-led, programmatic precision and culturally-connected street-level activity.

‍WTM operates as a direct extension of its media partners' commercial teams in Australia. For agencies and advertisers, that means one Australian point of contact for market insight, planning support and access to premium New Zealand media opportunities across multiple channels.

‍The new partnership will support both standalone JCDecaux briefs and broader campaigns where Out-of-Home can work alongside WTM's existing news, content, broadcast, streaming and audio partners to build reach, fame and impact across the New Zealand consumer journey.
