stuff.co.nz<\/a> and its digital and publications, which include national business and politics masthead; The Post.
Wellington Phoenix general manager David Dome is thrilled the partnership has been finalised.
\u201cStuff has provided unmatched coverage of the Phoenix since we were established in 2007,\u201d Dome said.
\u201cIn fact Post readers were asked for feedback on six options for the club\u2019s name before then-owner Terry Serepisos settled on Wellington Phoenix.
\u201cStuff and The Post have followed the Phoenix through all of the ups and downs since and it\u2019s great to have formalised the partnership.
\u201cWe look forward to connecting with Aotearoa\u2019s largest digital and print audience.\u201d
The Post Editor Tracy Watkins says more than 70% of The Post\u2019s readers are from
outside of the Wellington region, taking the Phoenix\u2019s story from the Capital to the
rest of New Zealand.
\u201cOur audience might be focused on our politics and business coverage through the
week, but come the weekends they are as sports mad as the rest of the country.
“This partnership speaks to that enthusiasm, and showcases the Phoenix story far and
wide.\u201d
Lee Piper, Stuff\u2019s Director of NZ Direct Markets, says he’s thrilled to officially formalise the relationship with the Wellington Phoenix after years of working together.
\u201cWe’re excited to continue supporting the club’s growth and success,\u201d Piper said.
\u201cIt\u2019s been a privilege to witness the Nix\u2019s progress season after season, and we look forward to being closely involved with the club as they continue to evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n*Source: Nielsen CMI Q1 24 – Q4 24 Fused Jan 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n
