Coco Gifts has worked with Metropol since opening over five years ago. It is an iconic Christchurch brand which as a business for me is a perfect partnership. It is one of two publications I support, as it works well with my brand and demographic, and it’s great having a stand at the shop for my customers to collect a magazine. I enjoy being able to work across social media with Metropol on Facebook and Instagram.
Grassam Real Estate would like to congratulate Metropol on their 20th anniversary. Juline and Pauline were foundation clients when the magazine was first launched and we have been a loyal client ever since. Having been involved in the real estate industry for 22 years, we have been proud to promote our business with Metropol. We have always found it to be a stylish magazine with interesting articles and hits our target market. On behalf of our company, we wish Metropol all the best for the future.
Working with the Metropol team has been a pleasure over the last four years. The staff are always helpful and accommodating with the planning and designing of advertisements. The magazine is always fresh and interesting, with a broad range of articles and features ensuring a good read for a greater audience, so from our perspective, Metropol has helped grow Ataahua Wine’s brand awareness in all the right places.
Synonymous with high-end fashion and timeless style for more than 30 years, Lynn Woods is a Victoria Street institution. We have been proud to be associated with Metropol for over nine years. The ideal medium to use to showcase our top fashion brands and profile our events, Metropol has been instrumental in helping us market our business. The glossy print pages represent our clothing brands well aesthetically and the online medium gives our customers another avenue. The ever-growing readership keeps our profile at the forefront, allowing us to directly engage with our growing market. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Metropol.
We’re a locally owned and operated bar and restaurant group with No.4 Bar, Fiddlesticks and Rogues of Rotherham’s all featuring in Metropol at different times over the past 12+ years. Metropol has given us great exposure across the Canterbury region and opened up the opportunity to get into markets that normal print media wouldn’t. They are always open to new ideas and this ensures my business is at the forefront of every issue we are in. Metropol, great achievement and all the best for another 20.

We feel that the Metropol is the ideal advertising medium for our business as we share common attributes such as professionalism and high quality whilst maintaining a hands-on family environment. Metropol has proven to be a valuable source of advertising for Fitzroy.
My old friend Metropol. I remember when I had my first ad in Metropol when I opened my first gallery – MIN KIM Fine Art – in Papanui Road in 2003. Since then, Metropol has delivered Bryce Gallery’s new exhibitions and my show news to art lovers. Whenever I meet amazing art through Bryce Gallery artists and sign my new work, I am excited to share the news with people through Metropol. I am so glad to have found this faithful and stylish friend – Metropol. Thanks always for the professional job.

Christchurch European is proud to be associated with Metropol Magazine. With the joint relationship now entering its fifth year, Metropol magazine has been a great marketing tool for our business to display and promote our vehicles in the local marketplace. With the previous owner of the magazine a long-standing customer, the relationship has benefited us both. The magazine continues to grow and improve and we look forward to growing alongside it. While competition comes and goes, Metropol still thrives after 20 years and we congratulate them on this achievement.
Twenty years in business is certainly something worth celebrating. Not only is this a mark of a good business, but it is also the mark of a company that grows and adapts with the changing markets.
Congratulations to Metropol on their 20th anniversary! We have been with the Metropol team since we started our business 12 years ago. Having come from a medical background as a GP, having to advertise and promote a new business was a completely different and foreign concept. Lorraine has been fantastic, wisely guiding us and helping promote our business. We have found the editorials to be very beneficial as clients find them interesting and educational. We often have clients bring in old editorials they have been holding onto to discuss the treatment mentioned!
Laservision Eye Clinic Merivale is one of New Zealand’s leading providers of laser eye surgery. For over 20 years, our professional team has been committed to providing patients with outstanding results.
Weir Architecture formed a partnership with Metropol to promote our business, showcase our latest award-winning projects and to create brand awareness following the breakup up of Weirwalker Architecture. We know that this approach is reaching our target market due to the considerable feedback from our existing clients and potential new clients.

We started using Metropol’s ‘In Your Kitchen’ not long after we opened about three years ago and we haven’t regretted a day of it. Not having had a great experience with print advertising in the past, we were genuinely surprised and delighted by the level of customer engagement that our Metropol ads generated and how easily those leads translated into sales. We love how simple the service is, and how experienced the team are, as it makes doing business painless!

We started our business in 2004 and soon discovered that advertising in the Metropol was the way to go. Reaching a wide target market with their creative front pages, Metropol is a beautiful glossy magazine that I personally like to have sitting on my coffee table. They have always made the process easy with good communication via email and phone, to monthly visits to say hello and drop off some magazines. Our editorials are well written, always accompanied with photos and a great title. Congratulations on your 20-year anniversary Metropol.

Showbiz Christchurch has been working with Metropol since 2016. As our organisation returned to staging full scale mega-musicals at the rebuilt Isaac Theatre Royal, after an EQ enforced hiatus, Metropol was a natural partner. The publication is dynamic, creative and passionate about theatre and the arts in Christchurch. Metropol have worked with us to create memorable layouts that capture the magic of specific shows, and we greatly enjoy the relationship that allows such customised results to go to print.

The feedback I get tells me it’s always well read. It’s a pleasure to have been a small part of the magazine’s big success story.

We started advertising with Metropol over 10 years ago. I felt it fitted with our business model. It’s a nice, high-end publication; it has a really good reach, it fits the demographic of our business model and it relates well to Canterbury. In terms of quality, there’s nothing else that matches it. Metropol is something people pick up and read, and they keep it. Metropol has also kept up with the times and is read online and through social media. So it was something I was happy to invest in and continue to do so.

Metropol has made Nurse Maude’s work visible to tens of thousands of people across Canterbury for many years now. It has shown people through our hospice shops, told them to bring us their unwanted, unloved and surplus to requirements household goods for Maude’s on Trade Me and let everyone know that Nurse Maude is well into its second century of caring for the people of Canterbury. What more could we ask for in a partner.
