One NZ has come on board as the title sponsor of Between Two Beers. One NZ is the country's largest mobile network, keeping millions of New Zealanders connected every single day. They've been named the best mobile network in New Zealand four years running, and as a locally operated business, they can invest directly into the things New Zealanders care about. Beyond the phone in your pocket, they're working towards a safer, simpler, and more connected Aotearoa – for Kiwis and Kiwi businesses alike.

So why do they make sense for Between Two Beers? Because at the core of what they do and what we do is the same thing: connection. One NZ connects New Zealand: the infrastructure, the coverage, the technology. We connect New Zealanders: through honest conversations, real stories, and the kind of chat you'd have over a couple of cold ones. Different lanes, same destination.

From a garage in 2019 to one of NZ's biggest podcasts, we've always done things our way, and One NZ gets that. They back good things and don't take themselves too seriously. Our kind of people. As Georgia Mahaffie, GM Brand & Marketing at One NZ, puts it: they're here to celebrate Kiwis at their best, lead with optimism, and create genuine connection – which is pretty much the Between Two Beers’ mission statement.

The partnership kicked off on 26th April with One NZ Warriors legend Stacey Jones as our first guest under the new banner. A fitting way to start – a Kiwi icon, a storied club, and two brands who both have deep roots in this country.
