About Us
Why we do what we do
Authentic Media is a part of Authentic Christian Trust (ACT), which means that by working with Authentic Media, you are directly supporting the mission of ACT - to "proclaim the Authentic Christian Life" that is the real, genuine Christian life - where Jesus is alive in us.
How we work
First we listen really carefully as you tell us about your organisation and what you're trying to do. Then we will work with you to come up with a plan and implement it. This might look like designing a new logo or website. It may be helping with your marketing strategy or perhaps you're looking to communicate what you do through a video. Whatever it is, we get excited about working with you.
Who are we

Authentic Media International Ltd is a part of Authentic Christian Trust, a registered Charity in New Zealand (CC55868). We are based at The Ark (located between Cambridge and Te Awamutu) and work with organisations around New Zealand and overseas.
