Why organisations love our retainer model

Our retainer clients love the flexibility to reach out as needs arise — whether it's a last-minute document, event preparation, or ongoing cultural language support. It's a simple way to embed authentic Māori into your everyday operations without the admin of repeat quoting.

  • If your team regularly needs translation, cultural phrasing, or guidance around how to use te reo Māori confidently and appropriately in the workplace — a retainer offers flexibility, consistency, and trusted support without needing to quote each time.

  • You can request translations, interpretation support, email/communication phrasing, cultural guidance, and more — all via our advisory request form.

  • Standard includes up to 2 hours of support each month. Premium includes everything in the Standard plan, plus one live group training session per month for your team.

  • All staff within your organisation can access our service! We'll provide you with a dedicated advisory request form that can be shared internally, making it easy for anyone to submit a request when they need language support.

  • You'll receive transparent reporting and usage summaries each month — plus, many of our clients report increased staff confidence, improved bilingual visibility, and stronger internal engagement with te reo Māori.

  • Unused time does not roll over, but most of our clients find consistent monthly support helps them stay proactive with their reo Māori goals.

  • Yes! Additional hours are available at a discounted rate for retainer clients and can be added as needed.
