If you'd like further information on this, hit the button below and we'll book a call.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?

First, you need to find out if you qualify for funding support. You can contact us through the form below and we'll be able to give you a better idea of whether you're eligible for funding. However, funding support is solely at RBPN advisor discretion, so the next step is to register with an RBPN advisor and do an interview assessment. We can support you with this by explaining the process.

Additionally, if you are exporting, have export potential or part of an export supply chain, this can help your application positively!

After receiving the request, Pow Wow Media will discuss the best course of action as per our previous meeting to meet your wants and needs. We’ll then develop a proposal for Activate Tāmaki Makaurau.

Step 5: Request Proposal Assessment

Once you’ve had a look over the proposal, request an assessment for approval by an Activate Tāmaki Makaurau assessor. Then we wait for approval. If the proposal is not immediately approved, you will be given instructions on what further information is required to have it approved.

Step 6: Approval Received

Once approved by Activate Tāmaki Makaurau, both parties will be sent a contract outlining the agreement. Once signed, we can begin to implement the services listed within the proposal.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: To receive this grant, all services must begin within the first month of applying and all services must be completed within three months from the date of the approval. That means you could access a total of 3 months worth of digital marketing services with us, potentially for free.
