Make an IMPACT. Seize the attention.

Waitaki App already has their attention. IMPACT advertising puts you where people are looking - clearly, affordably and right there in the moment. 
Designed to Influence

IMPACT advertising gives you Intelligent, Measurable, Promotions that are Affordable, Compelling and Targeted (IMPACT).

Local impact. Local results.

Advertising with us helps you get discovered, drive customers to your door and grow your business — all while backing your local community.

Your ads power our news, What’s On Guide and the community services that locals, newcomers and visitors rely on.

That's what keeps people coming back and new people finding us.

And because good deeds get rewarded, the more we entertain and engage - the more people see you while they're spending time with us.

Affordable

Budget-friendly options for maximum return on investment (ROI).

Compelling

Smart design and savvy tech to attract, engage and drive response.

Targeted

Hyper-local and hyper-focused targeting puts you more reliably in front of your customer.

Not all ads work the same - that's exactly the point!

Whether you're launching something new, reminding locals you're here or promoting a time-sensitive event - our IMPACT ad formats are built for attention.

Affordable. Strategic. Seen.
From banners to smart-targeted placements, we make sure your message shows up where people are already engaged - in the app, in the moment and in the know.

Want to compare options? Our chart speaks for itself.

Measurable? Yes!

Most local advertising is based on circulation - it can’t tell you how many people actually saw your ad.

We do it differently.

Our clever tech only shows ads when someone’s actively looking. That means you get real reach, backed by real data.

Want more? For clickable ads, we track views and clicks - and we use that insight to make your ads even stronger.

You’ll see what worked, when it worked and how we helped you stand out - all while you're supporting your local community.

What people are saying.

You can customise [your feature] quite a bit... your images, text, links and video that acts as sort of a mini website so it will show up in Google results as well.

Supporting local is something [they] do so well. From the early days Ailsa and Cara have worked together so it was a no brainer to support their most recent venture; Waitaki App.

We test it out for our own recruitment (advertising nowhere else) and have received fantastic local applications - every time!

Waitaki App

Waitaki App were easy to work with and checked in to make sure we got a good outcome. We'd definitely run a promotion with them again.
