Home of Dying Matters Week
Go With Grace has been instrumental in connecting with end-of-life specialists across New Zealand to bring to life Dying Matters Week for the first time in 2024. This new national initiative brought together communities across the country to engage in important conversations about death and dying. With over 40 in-person events and 4 online sessions held across 7 regions, this event resonated deeply with many New Zealanders. All events are hosted on the Go With Grace website offering numerous opportunities for business members to be involved in running workshops and sponsoring events.
Digital Marketing Reach
Through the website signup form, online planning tool and in-person events, we are building an email database of New Zealanders and sending monthly newsletters featuring educational articles around death and dying, new businesses, resources and event updates. Regular updates to our growing social channels including Linkedin, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram offer more opportunities to promote your business.
