Work with Māia

Nau mai, haere mai ki Māia - the home of kaupapa-driven communications in Aotearoa.

We are an award winning full service agency specialising in marketing communications strategies and campaigns. We empower changemakers with expert and inspired communication knowledge, so that they too can be māia. 

He aha te kaupapa?

Everything starts with purpose. Māia is a full service communications and marketing studio that is the meeting point between our own kaupapa and that of our clients and partners. Our purpose is to improve social outcomes through communications and bring more diversity to our industry. 

And we are seeking three changemakers to join our team in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland full time.

Who Are You?

You are an expert communicator, you are driven by purpose and you share our values

Māia

Māia is bravery, grounded in knowledge. Tangata whenua crossed the Pacific Ocean with māia because they weren’t just brave, they read the stars. And we empower clients with knowledge so they can be brave too. We embrace discomfort. We challenge everything, and help our clients do the same. We can only change the status-quo by asking uncomfortable questions.

Kaupapa Māori 

We’re deeply connected to Aotearoa and its people, so the principles of kaupapa Māori, are essential to what we do.

Diversity

We believe in diversity of culture, and diversity of thought. Because there’s strength in difference.

Go with your gut

We believe in energy and following your gut. If we’re getting vibes, they mean something. 

Craft

Everything can be crafted, carved, and chiseled to reveal a richer story, or a stronger purpose. We are masters of our craft and are always learning.
