JGeeks and MediaPA Celebrate Sell Out Tour

The now ‘Two Phils’ of MediaPA have once again engaged New Zealand’s nationwide and regional media, representing NZ’s hottest online talent JGeeks during their recent sell out nationwide “Tu Meke Tour.”

The JGeeks, who gained huge nationwide attention when competing in New Zealand’s Got Talent, already had a huge online and social media following leading into the tour, which finished last Sunday, and now have more than 74,000 likes on Facebook and more than 7 million views on YouTube. With the concept of the tour, the Metro-Maori Waka was coming to town!

MediaPA answered a call from the JGeeks to increase ‘traditional media’ to complement the JGeeks huge online following and boost localised media awareness of their tour. MediaPA’s PR approach and expertise (now by ‘Two Phils’) quickly saw back to back media exposure for JGeeks with localised breakfast radio, top regional newspapers, regional TV, school visits and guest appearances.

Selecting MediaPA part-way through their tour for their PR and media coverage, JGeeks Jermaine Leef explained his experience;

"MediaPA exceeded our expectations with the amount of coverage we got on radio, television and in the papers."

“It has just been crazy and awesome, the Phils just gets out their axe and carve it up!”

"You guys at MediaPA have done an amazing job for us throughout the tour"

MediaPA success in providing such extensive coverage of the tour brings up a great opportunity for JGeeks, partnered with MediaPA, to look toward their future endeavours, with daily Facebook prompts by fans, for the JGeeks to venture to Australia, Hawaii, USA and Asia. The media success also brings with it the opportunity to enlist sponsorship and merchandising partners.

Answering to the media and PR needs of NZ’s hottest talent JGeeks also saw the aligning of ‘Two Phils’ in the MediaPA spectrum. Phil Quay’s discovery of Phil Windley has come at perfect timing, producing a fantastic result with JGeeks and great feedback from Jermaine himself.

“Phil Windley’s abilities in PR and organised communication are of the high standard we look to provide at MediaPA, Phil also brings a strong influence and creative approach in business online media strategy, I look forward to bringing his skills and experience into more of our valued clients we have in MediaPA,” says Phillip Quay who boasts more than 20 years’ experience in the New Zealand media and PR industry and has travelled extensively overseas on media assignments.

With the combined skills of both the Phil’s MediaPA believe PR and their social media products will ensure celebrity and sports star representation will fit well within the company as a permanent offering.
