The other day I received an email from a well known online creative education platform who was kindly giving away a free world map.  It looked pretty funky so I decided I’d check it out.

Much to my amusement (because us New Zealanders have a great sense of humour) I discovered my country was missing  –  I slept on it – but upon waking  I really felt like I needed to voice my concern for such an error.

I mean how on earth did they forget about us?  Some of their educators are from here ….!

So I wrote :

And they replied… Actually they replied rather promptly, but it really felt like a generic response from one of their customer service people.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting an providing your feedback. I will pass it onto our team.

Regards,

Anthony

There is even a whole website dedicated to the cause which can be found HERE.

And just as I was about to go on my own personal crusade, Tourism New Zealand (who has got a way bigger budget than me!) created an ad campaign that seems to be getting a lot of attention globally – go on – check it out and help us get NZ on the map!

“Help us #getNZonthemap.”
