About Priority Communications
Priority Communications is a Christchurch-based public relations and communications consultancy that serves a diverse range of clients, from local nonprofits and social services to government agencies and private enterprises. Founded in 2013, the agency has built a reputation for practical, grounded communications support tailored to organisations operating in New Zealand’s unique social and regulatory environment. While the firm works across the country, its deep roots in Christchurch and Canterbury mean it understands the specific challenges and opportunities facing businesses and community groups in the region.
Strategic Communications and Stakeholder Engagement
Much of Priority Communications’ work centres on helping clients navigate complex stakeholder landscapes. The agency offers strategic communications planning, with a particular focus on stakeholder engagement and public participation. This includes designing and managing consultation processes, gathering stakeholder feedback, and ensuring that organisations maintain transparent, productive relationships with their communities. Given Christchurch’s ongoing urban development and infrastructure projects, such skills are especially valuable for local councils, developers, and community organisations. Priority Communications also provides government relations support, helping clients understand and engage with policy makers at local and national levels. The firm’s status as an all-of-government provider means it is well-versed in the compliance and reporting requirements that come with public sector contracts.
Crisis Management, Media Relations, and Content Production
Another core area for Priority Communications is crisis management and crisis communication planning. The team assists organisations in preparing for potential reputational threats, developing response protocols, and managing media liaison during incidents. This is complemented by media training, where clients learn how to handle interviews and public statements effectively. Beyond crisis work, the agency offers day-to-day media liaison and public relations services, helping clients generate positive coverage and tell their stories to the right audiences. Content production is also a significant part of the agency’s offering. Priority Communications creates digital content, including photography and video production, as well as written materials for websites, social media, and internal communications. Their internal communication and change management communication services support organisations undergoing restructuring, mergers, or cultural shifts.
