About us

Anecdote is a boutique business based in Cambridge, New Zealand.

Our experience in marketing, communications, journalism, graphic design and photography means we know how to tell a great story.

We love helping people and businesses capture and share what's unique about them.

Alison Tocker founded the business following over 20 years' experience in public relations and journalism, both in New Zealand and London. 

She got the idea for the business after helping businesses, charities and family members share their important stories.

If you're in the northern hemisphere and have an urgent deadline, we can create content during your night-time so it's in your inbox in the morning. 

That's due to New Zealand's unique position in the southern hemisphere – the first country in the world to see the sun. 

Contact us today to discuss how we can best showcase your story, and share it with those who matter most.

We capture your key moments

Sharing your unique experiences is a powerful way to connect with family, friends, customers and communities. We help preserve your legacy and success stories for the future. Get in touch to discuss the best way for us to help tell your story.
