Partnering in the national interest…
Line of Defence is Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading platform for defence, national security, and strategic affairs. Since its launch in 2016, Line of Defence Magazine has established a reputation as a trusted forum for informed analysis, bringing together policymakers, defence professionals, industry leaders, and subject-matter experts to examine the issues shaping New Zealand’s security environment.
Sponsoring Line of Defence provides a unique opportunity to align your organisation with a platform located at the intersection of policy, capability, and industry. Our audience comprises senior decision-makers across government, the New Zealand Defence Force, defence industry, and the wider security community.
Line of Defence reaches a concentrated and high-value audience through its web platform, Line of Defence Magazine e-publication, THE BRIEF e-newsletter, and professional networks. Our analysis and insights are read by senior leaders and practitioners directly involved in shaping policy, investment, and operational outcomes across New Zealand and the wider Indo-Pacific. In addition, our outputs are actively shared and discussed within professional circles, extending their reach into the decision-making environments that matter.
Lead from the front. Reinforce your presence in New Zealand’s defence and security landscape.
Line of Defence is not driven by volume, but by relevance. Our outputs are curated to inform, challenge, and contribute to strategic thinking. For sponsors, this means association with credible, high-quality analysis and access to a community engaged in serious defence and security discourse.
We work closely with our partners to ensure that sponsorship delivers meaningful value—through brand visibility, thought leadership opportunities, and participation in the broader defence conversation. At the same time, Line of Defence operates under a strictly independent editorial policy. Editorial content is not influenced by sponsors, and any sponsored or partner content is clearly identified as such. This ensures the integrity of the publication and reinforces the credibility of both our platform and our partners.
If your organisation operates within, or supports, the defence and national security ecosystem, Line of Defence offers a platform to reinforce your presence and to lead by example.
