About Us

People Max® was first developed for the Britomart opening in mid 2003. The Auckland Regional Council was having difficulty communicating public transport changes to the public using traditional mass communication methods. Thinking outside the box, it seemed the only way to guarantee commuters understood the messages was to put a person at every location. With this solution, People Max® was born. These interactive, intelligent, and helpful human information kiosks played a key role in the successful communication of these unprecedented public transport changes in central Auckland. A full Britomart Report is coming soon!

Since Britomart, People Max® has been developed to handle all sorts of public communication for the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA). We have communicated new public transport services, station openings and closures, replacement and temporary services, and safety issues. PeopleMax also collects data and conducts surveys for various ARTA projects.

People Max® has continued to grow into different communication roles, and now does a variety of promotional projects for our clients. For example we have promoted Auckland Max Magazine, Air New Zealand, Sky Metro, Lion Red, Guinness, and has even supplied fun characters like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and Winnie the Pooh.

Recently People Max® has started to solve our client’s human resource problems further, by supplying short term staff when required. We have supplied retail assistants, stock dispatchers, accounts staff, and even website designers. This gives us even more opportunities to let our database of communicators show their full potential.

Promotional Staff and People Placement – People Max® makes it easy!

With People Max®, there’s no hassle – everything’s taken care of for you!

Training:

With your specifications, we will brief the team and organise the necessary resources (such as uniforms and pamphlets).

Shift & roster coordination:

We will manage all the rostering, the checking in and out of staff, supervise the shifts, and coordinate breaks.

Contracts & salaries:

Forget about all the time-consuming payment management and legal requirements of contracts for your temporary team. It’s all done for you.

Communication & management:

Each team promotion has its own team leader. To update the team’s activities or communicate new information, just brief the team leader and the information will be communicated to everyone. We use a variety of communication methods and technology to ensure information can be dispersed to the team as quickly as possible. Even during a research programme, feedback can be essential – every People Max® team member is encouraged to use their initiative and provide relevant feedback.

Post-campaign report:

If you wish, profit by the team’s experience by reading a project overview and ‘lessons learned’ from the team’s information gathering perspective. This is immensely valuable especially if you intend to run a similar project in the future.
