Celebrating 100 Years of ZB — Custom Arch Backdrop at NZICC

Newstalk ZB celebrated a huge milestone this year — 100 years on air, since 1926 — with a special event at the NZICC to mark the occasion. The team behind the celebration wanted a backdrop that felt as iconic as the milestone itself: a striking set of arches in ZB's signature navy and sky blue, layered at different heights, finished with a gleaming gold "100 Years — Est. 1926" accent as the centrepiece.

A standout feature of the concept was an interactive element — a dedicated panel inviting guests to "leave a message, be part of the story." It became one of the most popular spots at the event, turning the backdrop into something guests genuinely engaged with rather than just walked past.

Mad Dog Backdrops was proud to bring this concept to life, building the full custom set to spec for the celebration. It's exactly the kind of project we love: a beautifully designed brief, brought to life with a build people remember.
