Trade Me : The Inside Story

order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each

Paperback

Author: Michael 'MOD' O'Donnell

Published by: Phantom House Books

Few companies have captured the hearts and minds of New Zealanders like Trade Me. Originally built on a borrowed laptop by university drop-out Sam Morgan, Trade Me has changed the face of retailing in New Zealand. Destroying newspapers' classifieds businesses, car and property dealers, and partnering with select websites and companies, the company then went on to be sold for a staggering $750 million to Fairfax. Trade Me has become part of our local vernacular and also the number one force on the New Zealand internet with some 2.5 million Kiwis listed as members.

NZ$ 40.00 each

Paperback

Author: Justine & Geoff Ross

Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd

If you haven't heard of the success of 42 Below Vodka you must have been living under a rock! Initially brewed by Wellington advertising man Geoff Ross in his garage, everything about this vodka was audacious, from the very notion of making high-end vodka Downunder to its shock-and-awe advertising campaigns and the fact that it would go on to beat the world's great brands in international vodka competitions. But the most remarkable thing about 42 Below was the way it stole the world's bartenders' hearts and eventually attracted the attention of liquor giant Bacardi, which paid millions to buy the brand two years ago.
