It was the perfect occasion to unveil the new website for specialist competition barrister Anna Ryan, on the 40th anniversary of the New Zealand Commerce Act being passed into law in April this year.

Anna is an exceptional human, vibrant and approachable, and just phenomenal at what she does. I absolutely loved working with her and learned so much about cartel and competition law; I found it deeply fascinating.

Anna engaged House of Jam for the copywriting, wireframing and SEO for her website, created by a multitalented collective of teams across New Zealand.

Hannah McDade - Logo and design consultancy.
Nick Harvey and his team at Plato - Brand assets.
Paula and Ben at Walsh and Beck - Web design.

Thank you, Anna. It was a joy being part of the team that brought this to life.

House of Jam used to have a whole menu of e-commerce offerings.

It was something that I offered forever, but over time had started to spread a little thin.
While it was a robust tree, it just had too many branches for my liking.

So I packed it away for a hiatus and had a long mull over what, where and how I wanted to show up in this space.

Finally, hibernation is over, and eCommerce is back in The Growth Lab.

I'm stoked. πŸ‘‡

Small businesses make up 97% of all businesses in New Zealand.
20% of those are sole traders.

That's an epic amount of hard mahi going into the fabric of our economy.

It's time to get out there and show New Zealand what you're made of.

A business award, even a finalist spot, can do a lot for your business in terms of exposure and engagement.

If you win, you will forever be known as an award-winning business. πŸ†

If you’ve been nominated for a business award, or are thinking of entering one in the new year, you may be feeling a little bit overwhelmed, excited or wondering what the hell you have got yourself into.

It's tough out there.

Everyday there are more and more businesses in New Zealand closing their doors.

Many of them have been around for DECADES.

While our favourite places are battling to keep the lights on, our fitness studios and gyms are right up there on the line.

Are you a stressed out gym or fitness studio owner, wondering if you're going to make it through the year?

Aaaaand WE'RE BACK!

Jam Season 2026 is now officially open. 🌱 ⚑ πŸ”₯

Don't you wish it were as easy to slide back into work as it was to slide into all-day stretch pants and crisps with libations every day at 4 pm?

I hear you.

It is awesome to be back, and I am so stoked to be firing up the engine on some new, really exciting projects that have been waiting in the wings since 2025.

Do you have a wild, half-baked idea that was whipped up when you were 3 glasses of chardonnay deep and scribbled on the back of your hand?

Let's do it!

I can help you make it happen.πŸ”₯
I’d love to hear from you. πŸ’š

Hi, I’m Tracy, aka Mrs Jam.πŸ“

I’m the Head Hummus Hustler at House of Jam Creative Communications in New Zealand.

I’m a Communications nerd with an even nerdier background in eCommerce.
But I started my working life as a hairdresser. πŸ‘€

If you like stories, you can read about that one here:
πŸ‘‰https://houseofjam.co.nz/about/

My clients like working with me because I am organised, efficient and a good communicator.
I won’t make you guess. 🀺

I like running a tight ship rather than trying to manage a shipwreck.
Panic-induced deadlines are not my jam. β›”

I offer businesses, brands and agencies that are the right fit, the opportunity to extend their capability without any fuss.

I can whip up a wireframe, know my way around SEO, breathe life into words that are having a wobble and write about anything from tractors to tarantulas. 🚜πŸŽͺπŸ§˜βš“

I like to keep things simple with less meetings so we can all have more time with our dogs.

If you have a wild, half-baked idea that was whipped up when you were 3 glasses of chardonnay deep and scribbled on the back of your hand, I’ll be the first one to tell you you should do it.

And I can help you make it happen.πŸ”₯

Want to work together?
I’d love to hear from you. πŸ’š
