We are PR and communications experts.

spice communications group is a respected corporate PR and investor relations consultancy in Auckland.

spice was founded by senior PR practitioners who believed there was a better way to deliver PR services to clients. We offer a personalised partnership approach where every client is treated as a big fish in a small pond.

Our consultancy is built on the philosophy that to deliver successful communications campaigns, you must be passionate about the brands and businesses you work with.  We work with our clients because we like them and we believe in what they do. They work with us because they like us - and we provide results!

We don’t have flash boardrooms, expensive leased cars or long lunches - and what we save on overheads, we pass onto our clients.

“Some people are lucky enough to be able to combine their passion with a successful career. Even if I won Lottery, I’d still want to continue working in PR.”

Jackie Ellis is a highly successful public relations practitioner who backs up two decades of industry experience with a prior career in sales and marketing for leading international brands.

Jackie is an expert in both corporate and consumer public relations and oversees all spice communications account teams.

She specialises in working with businesses and listed companies on their corporate communications and investor relations programmes.

Jackie entered the PR industry in 1995 where she rapidly moved up the ranks to look after multi-million dollar accounts for international brand clients. Following four years in London, leading the consumer team for a top twenty agency, Jackie headed back to New Zealand and became the founding director of spice communications group.

spice is built on a unique consultancy model.

We know you can put a round peg in a square hole if you really try, but we believe it’s much better to put together a team that has the best experience and expertise to manage your account.

We utilise the talents of expert, highly qualified PR consultants who have experience in your sector, to partner with you.  This means that senior practitioners, not graduates straight out of media school, are the ones implementing the campaigns and providing day to day hands-on PR expertise, as well as offering strategic counsel.

Energetic, fresh, interesting, passionate, knowledgeable and committed are just some of the words used by our clients to describe our team.
