September marked 50 years since the Māori language petition was delivered to parliament - it marked a change in the course of the Māori language and many more movements were born from this one. ATA led the digital marketing and online communications for the kaupapa working with Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori.

Te Māngai Pāho fund Māori language outcomes through content.  We conducted user research to find out more about their audience in order to deliver a tailored social media strategy. Three workshops were conducted online and included both creators and emerging creators - time to write the strategy!
