YouTube Celebrates Aotearoa's Marketing Excellence
New Zealand's marketing excellence was on display last night at the 2025 YouTube New Zealand Marketing Awards. Aotearoa’s top marketers gathered at Spark Arena to celebrate exceptional strategies, campaigns and individuals of the past 12 months.
The event, a partnership between YouTube, NZ Marketing Magazine and the NZ Marketing Association, honours outstanding achievements in marketing that delivered real results for businesses and brands. With such high calibre of entrants, I’m proud to share that our partners ANZ Bank New Zealand, Zuru Group, Goodman Fielder, Spark NZ, One New Zealand, Westpac, Pak'n'Save, Kiwibank, Auckland Transport, Animates NZ Holdings, Sharesies, Tourism New Zealand all took home trophies for their marketing prowess.
The party continued with DJ CYRIL, an artist that has harnessed the power of YouTube to connect directly with a global fandom, his incredible rise, fueled by millions of views and devoted subscribers. As YouTube ushers in a new era of creator led entertainment, artists and creators alike have discovered the power of authentic connection and the vibrant community that thrives on the platform.
At YouTube, we’re proud to play a small part in recognising the incredible work that comes out of our local marketing scene. As the largest channel for New Zealand audiences* YouTube is the home of the biggest moments in culture, the most trusted creators and the creative canvas of brands, businesses and individuals. One more round of congratulations to all the winners!
