Dentsu Aegis Network launches global lifestyle marketing agency MKTG in NZ

Dentsu Aegis Network today announces the launch of its ninth global network brand and lifestyle agency, MKTG, with specialist activations agencies, Synergy and ApolloNation, and PR agency Haystac merging to become MTKG. The launch of MKTG strengthens Dentsu Aegis Network’s lifestyle marketing offering throughout the New Zealand market and continues its expansion around the globe.

Leveraging the collective experience, resources and talent of the former ApolloNation, Synergy and Haystac teams, MKTG will look to lead in lifestyle marketing across the key service pillars of Live & Experiential, Shopper & Promotional, Sports & Entertainment, and Influence Marketing.

The launch of the MKTG network brand in New Zealand makes a statement to the market with the brand now scaled to 30 offices across 17 countries globally and over 1,450 specialist Activations staff with headquarters in New York.

In New Zealand, a Managing Director will be appointed to drive MKTG, reporting into NZ CEO Rob Harvey.

Rob Harvey, CEO of Dentsu Aegis Network NZ said, “We are really excited to launch MTKG in New Zealand with the coming together of three fantastic brands. In 2015, we dedicated ourselves to launching a greater lifestyle marketing capability across the Dentsu Aegis Network and today’s announcement of the launch of MKTG in New Zealand is another exciting move forward in our local and global vision.”
