CLEMENGER BBDO ZERO G NETWORK

​Clemenger BBDO Melbourne have helped Great Northern Brewing Co set up the Zero G Network, a new initiative to protect remote pockets of the great outdoors from mobile data coverage. It launched with a petition asking Aussies to help safeguard these pristine, tech-free sanctuaries that are currently out of range and free of emails, notifications and hashtags! The purpose is to preserve these areas so that future generations will always have places to experience the benefits of being outdoors and offline. 

With 35 Zero G locations to be discovered on an interactive map, people are encouraged to get into the great outdoors and switch off. Find out more and sign the petition here.

PORTER NOVELLI NZ PRO BONO WORK

​Porter Novelli New Zealand recently used PR for good, by providing pro bono support for a local charity, Kenzie's Gift - which provides grief support to young Kiwi kids going through life's worst of times. Their work promoting the charity’s Winter Swim Challenge fundraiser included a segment on Breakfast TVNZ, with presenter Tessa Parker and charity founder Nic Russell braving Auckland’s cold waters live on air. Well done to the team on withstanding the weather to make this happen for a truly great cause.
