Pacific Media Network (PMN) is pleased to reveal its new website that ensures the future of Pacific storytelling, radio and news media continues to connect with its growing online audience.

CEO Don Mann says at the heart of the new website are the communities.

“PMN’s new digital platform is all about serving the Pacific community. The stories we share deserve an online space that upholds the mana and respect of Pacific people,” he says.

The redesigned site makes it easier to discover its brands Niu FM, 531pi, PMN News and its 10 language programmes all in one place.

Included in the refresh was a branding approach that seeks to connect and be relevant with an increasingly digitally savvy Pacific youth audience.

The project was completed within a year and was led by web agency Daylight Group, the team behind award winning site The Spinoff.

“We liken our online space to a digital version of a kupega or upega: a net that seeks to contain Pacific knowledge that sustains us and to share this koloa across the Moanaverse,” says Mann.

The main colour tapa black is an intention neutral backdrop that holds the vibrancy of our islands.
