Te Tohu Auaha Hou | Innovation Award honours new approaches or technologies that bring positive change.
Heather Baggott, Acting Public Service Commissioner, said, “What’s special about the Public Service is that it’s often not about individual achievements – it’s about what we achieve together. This sense of community, of shared purpose, means we can tackle the toughest challenges and lift each other up along the way.”
Steve Dimakis, Managing Director OMD Wellington, expressed his excitement: “So many people across MSD, Clemenger, OMD, FUSE and wider agency villages have worked on Love Better over the last two years. An amazing effort and congratulations to all involved.”
Jake Firman, Head of Strategy OMD Wellington, added, “The MSD team dedicate themselves to real change, day in day out. Bigs ups to their bravery and innovation.”
