Auckland Business Support

On Friday 22 October 2021, the Government announced an economic support package for businesses affected by higher alert levels, as the country transitions to the new COVID-19 Protection Framework.

Activate Tāmaki Makaurau includes a package for Auckland businesses, specifically for the areas of Business Advice and Implementation Grants.

Fuel Media Ltd is registered to provide you with Business Advice and Implementation Support, with Activate Tāmaki Makaurau.

Fuel Media is registered and qualified to deliver the following support and services:

Eligible businesses can apply to work with Fuel Media and gain expert advice, strategy and planning. Together we will address your most immediate challenges, like changing target markets and developing fresh marketing strategies, creating a digital media plan, or overall business strategy.

This advice will lead to a plan to overcome challenges and/or identify opportunities and map out the scope of the work required to achieve the plan.
