This year sees PaperKite as a Wellington region Gold Awards finalist for not just one award, but two! We couldn’t be more delighted to be selected as finalists for the Cyber Gold category, and our contact tracing app, Rippl, has been selected as a finalist for the Innovation Gold category. We’re no stranger to the Gold Awards, having won the Emerging Gold back in 2015.
The Cyber Gold category honours technology creators, something we know a thing or two about. Since 2010, we’ve been at the forefront of creating digital solutions and experiences to everyday human problems. The early days saw us working on apps for the All Blacks and Metservice, and creating Apple Watch software. More recent projects have been app development for BP New Zealand, and working on digital experiences for the customers of Countdown, Coca-Cola Amatil and Hell Pizza.
The world-changing COVID-19 pandemic saw us need to react quickly and take stock of how we could support the New Zealand response, and local Wellington business. Our response was Rippl – a privacy-first contact tracing product that was designed and released within an impressive 3 weeks.
As technology creators, we’re seen as trusted advisors for the clients we work with. In a rapidly changing digital environment, our human-centred research and design focus, and proven product development see us well-placed to continue to support businesses wanting to create better digital experiences for their customers.
How do we support the businesses we work with? We approach digital projects in many different ways. Sometimes our clients will need support with just one of the below aspects, and sometimes they will join us on all stages of their digital journey.This year sees PaperKite as a Wellington region Gold Awards finalist for not just one award, but two!
