Otaki Festival of the Wind, 9 March 2013

Street Scene bragazines are published quarterly by ID Media Ltd to publicise and promote local communities.

Partly brochure and partly magazine – hence 'bragazine' – they contain articles about local businesses, people, history, attractions and events.

Street Scene bragazines are free and supported by local advertising that further promotes each community's unique character.

Distribution is locally through letterboxes, at local businesses (on their counter or coffee table), at cafes, medical centres, information centres, motels, hotels and B&Bs. Generally, two-thirds of every issue are distributed locally.

The remainder are placed in visitor centres, cafes, motels and other outlets throughout the lower North Island – in Wellington, Kapiti Coast, Horowhenua, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Wairarapa and at Palmerston North.

ID Media produces three bragazines. They are Petone, Otaki and Carterton (including Greytown and South Wairarapa). Further bragazines are planned in other communities. For advertisers, Street Scene bragazines have been shown to be an effective medium to promote their business; for readers, they provide a snapshot of a community that has never been achieved before.
