From today, May 15th, the home of the Warriors, Moana Pasifika, and much-anticipated summer concerts will be referred to as the ‘Go Media Stadium Mt Smart.’
This new name arises as a result of a recent commercial naming rights deal between Auckland Stadiums and Go Media, a renowned outdoor advertising company from New Zealand.
The initial naming rights period is for one year, with both parties keen to explore a multi-year partnership further down the track.
The new name, Go Media Stadium Mt Smart, will be officially launched with a blessing and ribbon cutting today, cementing what Auckland Stadiums and Go Media already see as a strong relationship.
Tātaki Auckland Unlimited Stadiums Director James Parkinson says Go Media works closely with Auckland Stadiums and tenants such as Moana Pasifika as a digital advertising partner, as well as the other events and cultural teams within parent organisation Tātaki Auckland Unlimited.
“It was important for us to find a partner that complements and enhances what we do at the stadium, as well as being able to add value to the community, our whole organisation and the sports, events and entertainment teams who rely on us as host and as a world-class venue,” he says.
The name change does not affect the legal name of the site, Mt Smart (Rarotonga) Reserve.
“Go Media is a natural fit, proudly Kiwi-owned and community-minded. I’m looking forward to extending our existing relationship to see how we can contribute to the community around Mt Smart Rarotonga Reserve together.”
Go Media Managing Director Mike Gray echoes the sentiment.
“As a New Zealand company that backs New Zealanders across Aotearoa like no other – through sports, arts, music, comedy and culture – we are proud to put our name to such an iconic stadium. We are looking forward to using our networks and leveraging our shared passion for events and entertainment, together.”
