NZ-based businesses operating offshore
Offshore businesses operating in New Zealand

Globalisation is one of the major trends of the early 21st century. Its impact extends to all societies, presenting opportunities for companies which offer competitive products and services.

WHAM won its reputation working for New Zealand's primary export industries. And while its experience now spans a much wider range of sectors, it is still very actively involved in the world of trade.

Principals travel regularly on business, especially to Australia, China, Hong Kong, South Korea and the United States.

To reinforce these links and to provide New Zealand clients with an on-the-ground service world-wide, WHAM became a founding member of the International Public Relations Team in 2002. 

The International Public Relations Team is a partnership of independent public relations consulting firms. Each consultancy offers a full range of public relations skills and has extensive professional experience in their home market. WHAM principal Trevor Walton is the team's vice-president.

By working together, team members can efficiently co-ordinate international projects - while providing clients with the benefits of overseas market knowledge and experience, without the need for undue travel or loss of project control.

This partnership has member consultancies in the following countries:

Argentina
Australia
Austria
Canada
China
Germany
India
Netherlands
South Africa
United Kingdom
United States 

Partnerships with consultancies in other countries are now being explored. The emphasis, of course, is on developing relationships with firms which share the high ethics, creativity and professionalism of existing IPR Team members.

NZ-based businesses operating offshore

To successfully promote your business, services, products or ideas in another country, you need local knowledge about the economic, business and political environment, media, culture and language.

WHAM and the International Public Relations Team can provide this for you. We have local knowledge and experience in a wide range of industries and sectors worldwide.

NZ-based clients deal face-to-face with WHAM, leaving us to manage the overseas logistics through our International Public Relations Team partners overseas.

Offshore businesses operating in New Zealand

If you are wanting to communicate with New Zealanders, WHAM can provide you with expertise in the 'Kiwi' environment - either direct, or through our International Public Relations Team partner in your home country.

Our own international experience in Australia, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, the United States and elsewhere, means we can offer you a service on the ground in New Zealand which will be sympathetic to your needs and perspectives.

WHAM has access to translation services in the languages of New Zealand's trading partners and has associates who are competent in conversational and written Japanese and Mandarin.
