Driven By Purpose
9/8/2020
Our founding director, Johnson McKay, started Fly (now Ira) while still at law school. So how did a career in law lead to a career in creative strategy?

Fly started out in 2005, while our founding Director was still in law school. While developing the skills to untangle complex legal matters, Johnson developed a unique solutions focussed approach to Fly that has grown into a purpose driven organisation. We focus on the values that unite New Zealanders in creating solutions for a thriving Aotearoa.

Whāriki spent some time with Johnson and other passionate Māori business owners in a series of videos celebrating Māori entrepreneurial excellence. Whāriki is a platform to elevate Māori perspectives and contributions to the dynamic business economy of Tāmaki Makaurau.
