Bailey Mackey

On today’s episode Julian Wilcox sits down to chat with someone he used to work with and who he’s known for many years – the founder and CEO of Pango Productions, Bailey Mackey – probably the biggest media star in New Zealand you likely have never heard of.  Bailey grew up in Gisborne on the East Coast of New Zealand. A talented sportsman he represented the East Coast at rugby but his passion was at the time – radio and media. So how does a kid from the Ngāti Porou East Coast go from local iwi radio to doing deals with the biggest companies in world media – the likes of Amazon, Freemantle, National Geographic and A+E Networks to name just a few.  Bailey’s shows are broadcast all around the world and he’s just getting started. So what makes Bailey tick? What does he think about the current state of media? How can New Zealand use it’s geographic and cultural difference as an advantage in this forever changing media landscape? His story is inspirational and shows how you can, even with all the cards stacked against you, rise to the top of your field and take a seat alongside the biggest players in your field.
