Jingle Bills: NZ Holiday Spending and New Year Priorities
Our first Mind & Matters special report for 2025 has arrived:
In the lead up to the Christmas and New Year's Eve holiday break, we asked over 900 New Zealanders about what they planned to spend on over the holidays and their priorities going into 2025.
This special report highlights key aspects of festive financial behaviour, including main spending categories, gift-giving trends, budgets, changes compared to last year, and preferred payment methods.
We're hiring!
Are you passionate about helping clients to uncover insights that drive business decisions? Do you have a knack with relationship building and project management? We are seeking a motivated Business Director to join our team.
