New Zealand specialist investment manager, Fisher Funds, has appointed the country’s largest independent agency, Stanley St, as its agency of record for strategy, creative, brand and media work following a competitive pitch.
Launched in 1998, Fisher Funds offer a full range of growth and income investment solutions and are one of the country’s leading KiwiSaver providers.
Says Marcus Wild, CMO of Fisher Funds: “We like to think of ourselves as different from other investment solutions providers…..We put the investor at the heart of everything we do, so it was important to us when selecting an Agency partner that they reflect these values. Throughout the process we were impressed with the different approach Stanley St took in response to our brief and in getting to know our business. They demonstrated throughout a collaborative and thoughtful approach involving us into their process and wowing us since the first engagement.”
Siobhan Burke, CEO of Stanley St says “We could not be more excited to get started with Fisher Funds.

Together, with unparalleled in-house film, photographic and content production capabilities with the flexibility and agility to react in real time. This fully integrated approach played a key role in the announcement of this appointment.

It’s an exciting time at Stanley St, we’ve been going from strength to strength.”
