Brainy Breakfast

What Wellington’s Boldest Brands Know About Marketing in a Downturn

Cut the budget, wait it out, hope for better times. That’s the conventional playbook. Wellington’s fastest-growing businesses did the opposite and grew.

They kept investing in their brands through one of the toughest economic stretches in years, often with small teams, lean budgets and a willingness to test, learn and back what works.

Our first Wellington Brainy Breakfast of 2027 we celebrate the next generation of Wellington businesses and go behind their growth stories to unpack the marketing decisions that made the difference: when to spend, what to scale and how to build fame from a standing start.

Whatever your sector, commercial, B2B or public, you’ll leave with ideas for your own mahi.
