Millennium Corp

Millennium Corporation is a private investment firm focused on growing successful technology, telecommunications, and utilities businesses throughout the Pacific Rim.

In April 2022, Vodafone New Zealand purchased a remaining 50% of Digital Mobile from Millennium, taking full ownership of its retail network for the first time. This was a significant divestment for Millennium and represented the “end of an era” for the company, which become synonymous with the brand in the industry. 

Millennium engaged Porter Novelli New Zealand to support it through the transaction from a communications perspective to ensure strength of messaging, external positioning and alignment, while mitigating risk.
