Today is a great day. I have loved every day of the last 14 years, helping TRA disrupt the insights market and become one of the leading agencies in this part of the world. I remain a shareholder, a director and most of all a cheerleader but today I step into a new role. Today we announce the launch of New + Improved Ventures. A venture builder aiming to make businesses marketers fall in love with and in doing so, elevate the impact and influence of marketing, all over the world. In simpler terms, today we are formalising and fueling the factory that made Ideally and Tracksuit. A business in the business of making businesses. Read more about iy here and reach out if one day, you might be interested in working with us.
Herald Premium | They keep recombining, like so many characters in a Startup Land version of the Marvel Universe. And now the crew behind two of New Zealand’s fastest-growing tech companies, Tracksuit and Ideally, have formed New + Improved Ventures, a “venture studio” or “company for making companies”, that has raised $6 million to build new firms.
