We bring 50 years of combined experience and offer a seamless, one-stop service for media placement and ad production.

Māori Media Network was launched at Parliament Buildings in September 2000 and the inaugural Annual General Meeting of the company was held in December 2001 at Ngā Miro Health Centre in Ngāruawāhia.
2025 marks an important milestone for the company, representing 25 years of dedication to championing the cause of Iwi Radio to advertising clients and agencies, and highlighting stations’ unique value and connection to Māori communities throughout Aotearoa.
Māori Media Network’s logo is a contemporary representation of the Putaatara (conch shell), historically used as a communication device among Māori.
The image was designed to depict both kotahitanga (unity) as well as individuality and diversity of Iwi.
This forms from the centre of the koru, flowing out to the different paths or frequencies. The subtle image of the fern can also be seen.
Natural colours of the sea and earth have been chosen as essential elements which bind the whenua (land).
Extremely efficient and professional.
