A regular guest on The Panel on RNZ and an occasional writer for the Spinoff.

Podcast appearance selection:

Double Denim was the infamous agency co-founded and co-directed by Anna and Angela Meyer. In five short years from 2015 - 2020 they created major campaigns in political, social good and commercial industries, winning an international marketing award and creating waves in the diversity and inclusion space. Their unique approach focused on helping businesses understand the power of the female economy, and enabling women in the workforce to recognise their own power. Double Denim came to an end in 2020 due to COVID.

Community Service




“Anna, how on earth do you source all of this cool shit? You’re like the cybernetic equivalent of a punk rock dumpster diver coming up with the hidden gems every time.”
Newsletter subscriber

Anna has a huge heart and capacity for caring about culture, community and change for good. She has a particular passion in curating conversations to build community resilience, alongside her commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Because of these passions she works hard to limit her community service ventures. Now living in a small rural community with the need for volunteers, she has accepted the role as Chair of the Golden Bay Arts Council to advocate for the arts in the community.

She also continues her work on The Ace Lady Network. This network began as a Facebook page, has included a podcast, and now exists as a fortnightly newsletter. Networking events and workshops have been held in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown and this network welcomes all genders interested in changing the status quo.

Recently described as “a more edgy and political Brainpickings” please get in touch if you wish to subscribe.
