The Wellington business landscape

Government has long been the mainstay of Wellington's economy, alongside professional, scientific and technical services, health, education and retail. Tourism, arts and culture, film and ICT play a growing role: the city is an important centre of the New Zealand film industry, home to Wētā Workshop and Wētā FX, and the harbour is one of the country's chief seaports. Wellington's median income is the highest of all New Zealand cities.

Main business areas include:

  • Lambton Quay
  • Te Aro (Cuba Street)
  • Courtenay Place
  • Thorndon
  • Miramar

What to post for Wellington audiences

  • Public-sector suppliers and consultancies: clear, evidence-led LinkedIn content for a policy-literate audience.
  • Cafés, bars and venues around Cuba Street and Courtenay Place: event and food content for a walkable city.
  • Film, games and creative studios: behind-the-scenes and hiring content.

Related playbooks: restaurants and cafes, clinics, hotels and travel, education institutes.
