Independent Auckland-based communications agency, One Plus One Communications has announced the appointment of two new team members, with Liz Holt and Hannah Kronast joining the business as Group Account Director and Senior Account Manager, respectively.

Joining from Mango Communications, Liz will be leading a diverse portfolio of local and international clients. She brings more than a decade of experience in consumer and corporate communications, with a career that has spanned agency and in-house roles, working across sectors including tech, travel, telco, and financial services.

Hannah is welcomed to the agency with a background in corporate communications, most recently as Account Manager at Anthem, where she supported a range of clients in the healthcare, FMCG, tech, property, telco, non-profit, and education sectors. Before branching into communications, she began her career in journalism, with internships at The Spinoff and NZ Herald before becoming a Digital Producer at Newshub.

One Plus One Managing Director, Kelly Bennett, said: "We’re so excited to be welcoming Liz and Hannah to our expanding team. Their blend of experience, fresh perspectives, and passion to deliver outstanding work make them both wonderful additions to One Plus One.

"As we approach the halfway mark for 2024, One Plus One has already enjoyed a strong start to the year in difficult conditions, which I don’t take for granted. Key to that is the calibre of people we are able to work with, so I’m very pleased both Hannah and Liz have chosen to pitch in with us."
