Our origins started with local government. In 2014, while working at the Opotiki District Council, founder, Simon Appleton saw the disconnect between local government’s desire to be internationally engaged and their ability to do so sustainably.
We provide local governments with an outsourced foreign affairs and migrant support team. We work with you to reach your economic development and social wellbeing goals.
As no two councils are the same the services are customisable. You can choose different options based on your needs, or you can request Eastern Bridge to analyse and identify the opportunities to feed into your strategic planning.

Strategic Planning
Each community is different, so a ‘one size fits all’ solution cannot be applied when it comes to migrant engagement and international relations.
Eastern Bridge likes to develop strategies based on local data and thorough analysis. We draw information from a range of sources as well as our own Migrant Perceptions Survey.
Our strategies will include a SWOT analysis, as we identify the enablers and opportunities for your communities. These will generally include economic development and community well-being streams.
When we deliver a strategy, we provide manageable actions which keep in mind the capacity of your resources. The strategies will also determine measures for understanding what success looks like.

Hongi
Hongi is an exciting news, information and e-commerce portal specifically for New Zealand local and regional councils, government departments, economic development agencies and tourism promotion organisations. Hongi is available in;
English | Chinese | Korean | Japanese | Vietnamese | Russian
We use a combination of machine learning AI and locally based editors to provide up to date news and public information.
Our nationwide Migrant Perceptions Survey told us that few Councils are truly “Asia Ready.” Migrants have told us that their number one concern is the constant frustration of being unable to access information about living in New Zealand in their own language.
Hongi solves this problem. Your council can communicate with your migrant communities in their own languages. And, your council can showcase your cities, towns and districts to visitors, international students, investors and skilled workers.
With Hongi, you can also promote economic and community well-being:
Economic
- Promote locally made products on the e-store
- Support your business community through the local business directory
- Attract investment by showcasing your community’s local opportunities
- Encourage tourism by marketing your local tourism offerings and providers
- Welcome international students by introducing the local schools and student-friendly environment
Community
- Create a welcoming front door for Asian migrants and visitors
- Share your positive news and local information
- Encourage well-being through community engagement
- Enhance your council’s ability to engage with your migrant community
- Collect data on migrant communities to better serve them
Hongi has been custom built by the Eastern Bridge team and incorporates many unique features and applications to enhance the user experience. Further add-ons and enhancements are planned, including the incorporation of a social-media interface for Hongi users, due for completion in the end of 2021.
Hongi is also supported by a robust marketing and promotions strategy which includes special promotions into the migrant communities, advertising, and influencers. As more councils participate in Hongi the promotional activities will also increase.
