About us – experience and good fun all rolled into one
evbmedia is built on more than a decade's experience in media. Experience gained during a period of immense change within the industry.
As a result we are not only aware of new trends and technology, we also know how to take advantage of them. And how they can work together to create a stronger impression.
We're passionate about communicating, connecting people and the power words have to do that.
• We work quickly and efficiently – we save you money.
• We work with you rather than dictate what's best for your business – we save you time.
• You'll deal with the same person from start to finish and on subesquent jobs – we save you having to explain things more than once.
• We thrive on challenges and finding new ways of doing things – we save you stress.
We want to work with leaders. Innovative companies who consciously look outside the square, try new things and are genuine in their commitment to make the world a better place. Plus of course they need to know how to have fun – we're serious about the quality of our work, but we also like to enjoy life!

Or just pic up the phone and get it straight from the horse's mouth ... so to speak.
Ellie van Baaren
Director
A trained journalist, Ellie has worked in the magazine publishing industry for the past 10 years – five with the Custom Publishing department and 18 months with New Zealand News Ltd in London.
As editorial manager and account executive of what was then a newly-formed department, Ellie was instrumental in growing the stable from two magazines to six publications. Part of this was developing the editorial direction for what was a much larger marketing strategy, creating initial budgets, pitching to prospective clients and taking it from an idea to reality.
New Zealand News Ltd gave Ellie her first taste of a consumer publication. As Group Editor, she took the 79-year-old newspaper NZ News UK online, while launching a monthly magazine, NZinspired, in its place. Ellie was also responsible for two other information-based websites and several special publications.
Calm under pressure, flexible and decisive, Ellie has honed a keen understanding of the need to balance editorial concerns with commercial ones and employs this on each project she works on. A passion for words is a given, but Ellie's innate curiosity about the world also means she has written for and worked with a wide range of businesses.
