Background: Communicado
was one of the first independent companies to specialize in popular factual TV programming in New Zealand founded by Neil Roberts. Communicado's productions ranged across business and tourism videos, advertising, and a run of magazine programmes and TV documentaries. Some of the company's work - like the Roberts-narrated ANZ Magic Minutes spots - blurred traditional lines between advertising and journalism.
