How We Chose this Name for Our Business!
The name "Kiwi's Edge" is a
double pun on NZ's place in this world, by those who call ourselves "Kiwis"
- see Kiwi Expat
Association; and
N.Z. Edge by Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi.
New
Zealandon a
world map is often shown as being on the
very edge, but I think we also have an "edge" in other
ways - after all NZ did take the "America's
Cup" against better funded teams!
Thanks to our down-to-earth upbringing, practical "hands-on" approach to
problem-solving, and New Zealand's uniformly high level of education,
Kiwis do consistently "punch above our weight" - a boxing
phrase - in most endeavors that combine intelligence, creativity and
practical abilities.
