Strategic Communications + Engagement Projects

We know what it takes to bring people together. Frank Engagement has helped local government, central government and infrastructure organisations to engage with their communities. 

Supporting the strategy was an action plan for a targeted campaign, to build buy-in to the climate change strategy, raise awareness of the upcoming consultation and promote action the community could take themselves to reduce impacts on the environment.
2021 was one of out of the box for Hawke’s Bay Airport. Against the backdrop of a devastating global pandemic, they had managed a return to profitability and achieved some major sustainability goals.
Regional Council asked Frank Engagement to design and implement a largely online consultation campaign, reaching as many residents as possible within a four-week timeframe.
The Tairāwhiti Roading Package is the single largest investment in the region’s roading network – building the resilience of roads regularly impacted by weather events and improving driver experience on the winding roads in and out of the East Coast region. 
If there’s one thing we’re passionate about at Frank Engagement, it’s bringing people together to help regions grow. 
The floods from Cyclone Gabrielle dumped an estimated five million cubic metres of silt on homes, orchards, farms, and roads in Hawke’s Bay. 
Hawke’s Bay Regional Council manages the region’s public transport network and, as part of its carbon zero commitment, wanted to try something more effective and sustainable.
In late 2020, Frank Engagement partnered with Hawke’s Bay Airport to provide communications and engagement support leading up to the opening of its transformational new terminal.  

Looking back...

Our people built their careers across a range of industries and organisations before coming together at Frank Engagement, building their careers on major projects across the country. Here are some of the projects that have shaped our skills, knowledge, and expertise:

The Whanganui River is the lifeblood of the Whanganui district, with its importance recognised by the historic Te Awa Tupua (Whanganui River Claims Settlement) Act, which established the river as its own legal entity.
Whanganui’s Sarjeant Gallery and its collection are a national treasure. Opened in 1919, the purpose-built Oamaru stone building was found to be earthquake-prone and no longer fit to house one of New Zealand’s most significant fine art collections.
The impacts of stormwater flooding, considerations around future land use, and the need to restore local waterways prompted Whanganui District Council to work with stakeholders on the future of the wetland.
As one of only a handful of large companies listing on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) in recent years, Napier Port’s 2019 public listing attracted substantial national attention.
The construction of 6 Wharf was approved in November 2018, but Napier Port needed help to fund the $173 million project.
6 Wharf is a $173 million infrastructure project that will strengthen the ability of Hawke’s Bay and the wider Central North Island to trade import and export goods with the world.
