WildTomato Media Ltd is an independent and locally owned media company.
History
WildTomato launched in July 2006, the vision was to create an Essential Lifestyle Magazine. The first edition was 16 pages and immediately found a loyal following by fulfilling an unmet need for an inspirational local journal.
In December 2007 Jack Martin became editor of the magazine, bringing a new focus to the editorial pages, and in March 2008 he bought WildTomato Media Ltd. WildTomato has grown to cover the Top of The South island and acquired a reputation along the way for exciting journalism that is passionate about Nelson and Marlborough. In March 2010 WildTomato Media launched FishHead, Wellington's magazine www.fishhead.co.nz

| Rachael Fraine – Advertising Manager Local business owners will have seen Rachael around town over the last two years, while working in radio alongside businesses helping them develop and achieve their marketing objectives. She is wildly excited to be joining the team at WildTomato, having been a fan and avid reader (Rachael has unusually exceptional taste in magazines, which is why we hired her).
She and husband Adam moved to Nelson from the UK in 2007 and firmly believe they’ve found paradise on Earth. They have two sons and when not working she pursues her second and third careers as chief taxi and cheerleader for her children’s cricket, rugby and social engagements. Finally, when time permits, she takes the opportunity to sample the local flavours – both edible and drinkable. |
