Meet Fiona

"We came to Hatch with so many ideas that felt disjointed, but the team quickly helped us identify the unifying themes and create a strategy to bring it all together."

NZ Innovation Council is an organisation with social outcomes in mind. They’re on a mission to grow and support New Zealand’s burgeoning innovation ecosystem.

Fiona, the Council’s Innovation Community Manager, approached us to build a digital platform and operational website for NZ’s innovators to connect, share, learn and grow, together.

"So many of our favourite features came from Hatch ideas, and the end product wouldn’t be the same without their creativity and problem-solving."

Highlights included:

• Phasing the project to meet a highly time sensitive deadline
• Seamlessly integrated over 4,000 existing members to a new collaborative platform
• Streamlined and automated the Council’s community events content, saving over 10 hours a month of Fiona’s time
• And from Fiona’s side: "We’re now reaching even more kiwi businesses and innovators and we’re able to provide them with the help and support they need to grow"

What next?

It’s exciting to be a part of growing New Zealand’s innovation ecosystem, and we’re proud to play our role in supporting New Zealand business owners.

We’re now working with Fiona to optimise and improve the website as their advertising campaign is rolled out. All the time, continuing to deliver the feedback loop Fiona needs –

"The development and feedback loop with Hatch meant we were able to ideate, pivot and feel confident in where the project was heading."
