Boost New Media

Based in Wellington, New Zealand, Boost New Media is a small team (1-10 people) working primarily with government and public-sector organisations in New Zealand to build and improve digital services. The agency's stated focus is on making public digital services easier to use, connect, and improve over time, with project work described as delivered on time and on budget for government clients. One referenced project involved a web application built for FinCap, aimed at supporting families facing financial hardship. Boost's listed services span web design, UX/UI design, mobile app development, and search engine optimization, delivered through an Agile approach to software development. The agency offers a Proof of Concept service, allowing a client to test an idea and build a working prototype before committing to full development. It also runs a facilitated one-day workshop for clients to plan, size, and cost a project or build a business case ahead of kick-off. Beyond delivery work, Boost provides Agile training, coaching, and audits intended to help internal teams manage projects and risk more effectively, and publishes resources including a Product Owner guide, a discovery workshop guide, and material on managing project risk with Agile Scrum. The team includes full stack developers, UX/UI designers, an Agile lead, and innovation leads, reflecting a combined development and design capability alongside its Agile practice.
