We’ve Worked With
Our Local Advertising Gets Results
“The Nelson Male Voice Choir used Nelson Pulse advertising for just one week and it had a dramatic effect on sales for our Anzac Concert. We sold out the venue for the first time ever. The Pulse advert was by some distance the biggest contributor to our marketing effort and was very economic for the result achieved. Little doubt we will continue to use this very useful tool.”
Steve Barter (Publicity Officer- Nelson Male Voice Choir)
The NCMA (Nelson Centre of Musical Arts) ran an Extended Event Promotion, and fully sold out of tickets a week in advance for their NZ Opera production of Toiere on 27 June 2026.

Got Questions?
Here are some of the most common questions about posting a job in Nelson:
Where is the best place to advertise a job vacancy in Nelson/Tasman?
It depends on what you need. Large job boards offer scale, but local channels often deliver better relevance. Nelson Pulse focuses on reaching local candidates directly, with repeated exposure across multiple days – helping your role stand out and stay visible.
How does Nelson Pulse differ from SEEK and Trade Me Jobs?
SEEK and Trade Me Jobs are designed primarily for people actively searching for their next role. But some of the strongest candidates aren’t checking job boards – they’re already doing great work somewhere else.
Nelson Pulse puts your vacancy into the weekday routine of 5,200+ Nelson and Tasman locals. That means reaching capable, currently employed people who may not be job hunting, but could be interested when the right opportunity finds them.
Your vacancy appears across 10 weekday issues and is the only job listing featured at the time. We also write and format it for you.
How do I post a job in Nelson?
The simplest way is to choose a platform, provide your job details, and publish. With Nelson Pulse, we handle the writing and placement for you – so you can get your job in front of local candidates quickly.
How can I reach local candidates in Nelson/Tasman?
Use channels that are already part of people’s daily routine. Our weekday newsletter reaches thousands of locals consistently, making it easier to connect with people already living and working in the region.
What does it cost to advertise a job in NZ?
Costs vary. Platforms like Seek and Trade Me Jobs typically charge a few hundred dollars per listing. Nelson Pulse offers a similar price point, but with much greater trust and visibility with repeated exposure over multiple days rather than a single listing.
