One of our projects this year was helping to get Big Boys Toys back on the entertainment calendar for Auckland.
We wanted to get the event back in front of the media and remind them why this was one of the big, fun events of the year. So we pulled together a media launch, showcasing some of the best features and attractions.
This montage from 3 Sports Tonight gives a great snapshot of the our Big Boys Toys media launch.
Suit & Salad Fundraising Luncheon
Nov 4th
A festive setting as the guests arrived
Today we had the pleasure of being part of the Suit and Salad Fundraising Luncheon – a Dress For Success Auckland initiative, which aim is to help woman get back into the work force. Held in the Grand Tea Room in the Heritage Hotel, the event was seamless apart from having to evacuate the entire building after some over enthusiastic gym bunny knocked the alarm in whilst working out, but that just added to the excitement. There was an excellent turn out, the auction was a heated affair with furious and welcome bidding and lots of cash was raised, all for fantastic cause.

One of the delicious tastes from award winning Cocoro
It’s a another stunning day in Auckland City as Taste of New Zealand in picturesque Victoria Park sees the multitudes of happy foodies stream in by the thousands. While it’s busy and bustling, the atmosphere is relaxed with folks sitting under umbrellas sipping wine, tasting a delicious dish from one of the top restaurants and listening to the band strike up a tune on the Peroni Bandstand. The breeze is gentle and warm and carries with it heady aromas of the next dish.

A food village in the heart of Auckland
Victoria Park is a bustling hive of people, smells, sights, sounds and most importantly: tastes, as Taste of New Zealand sees thousands of food lovers visit today for another sumptuous lunch session.

Crayfish In The Park

A mountain of crayfish
This morning we snapped a quick pic of The Grove‘s head chef Ben Bayly with some of his Karitane Crayfish. The crayfish will be the main feature of one of The Grove’s dishes at Taste of New Zealand (kicking off this evening!), cooked with Cafe de Paris, butter, lemon and Vivian Salad – delicious! There are limited numbers of the Crayfish dish so make sure you get in early. If you miss out, there are plenty of other mouth watering dishes from any of the other restaurants, for more info on the menus click here.

The Parrot AR Drone Enters Christchurch Cathederal
Jun 20th
The Parrot AR Drone shows us inside the damaged Christchurch Cathedral
In March PBPR was pleased to work with Yoobee to launch the Parrot AR Drone in conjunction with the release of iPad2.
The AR Drone is an amazing piece of equipment that on the one hand can be used as a game or entertainment, but as this footage shows, has amazing possibilities for business.
Powered by four fan engines and directed by an iPhone or iPad, the AR Drone can hover and fly in all directions. Cameras on the AR Drone show where you’re going and transmits the images back to the driver. Amazing.
In this 3 News item, see as the AR Drone enters the Christchurch Cathedral and gives us a sobering look at the inside and the damage. See here for the footage. Thanks to 3 News.
