About Me

G’day,

My name is Ant Niterl, a passionate Kiwi bloke cutting my teeth for the past 12 years in media.  I’m notoriously known for having a debatable but wicked sense of humour and a keen drive to make my output invaluable for those I work with.

I have been blessed with the confidence to always give things a good crack and not die wondering, which has led me to live as an experienced multimedia broadcaster, a well-used and abused MC and Creative Producer for some of New Zealand’s most prominent brands. 

I’ve written and hosted my own TV show called ‘Short and Wide’, ran a thought provoking cutter on the radio show ‘Heart, Heart & Balls’ together with the golden tonsils of rugby broadcast Grant Nisbett and the face of all things odd, Mark Stafford. Never one to shy away from a challenge, I once brought in the Gisborne New Year, working in front of 25,000 fizzy festival revellers at Rhythm and Vines, then shortly after donned a suit in the climax of summer and delivered the odds for Sky TV at a Mt Maunganui Black Caps one-dayer. I’m no doctor but whatever the situation, I’m reliable, versatile and have my finger on the pulse. 

Born and bred in South Africa to a Portuguese mother and an Austrian father, I was the runt of the litter and life wasn’t looking bright till I sunk my hooves into NZ soil. St Kentigern College gave me half a brain whilst I toiled in my quest to become a Black Cap cricket player…to which I failed miserably, forcing me to complete a Bachelor of Communications degree. I’m a passionate washed up sportsman, who relishes living on and off the land and knows how to tear a dance floor a new one, if given the opportunity. It’s not pretty though.

You could say I’m an Ant of all trades, master of none (well that’s what my mother tells her mates). I thrive in shaking hands, putting smiles on faces while working with some top shelf brands and people. If it is in the form of creative producing, presenting, MCing, marketing, digital content, narrating or copy writing, I have delivered a fair bit over the years. 

If you want to catch up, talk about how we can make your brand purr with a unique, raw, passionate and authentic approach, drop me a message and we can knock it out the park. 

I’m also proud to have built a huge network of talented specimens who can definitely add value in areas outside my expertise. If I can’t be of service to you, I may know others who can. After all, creating and fostering relationships and giving back is a cornerstone to conducting business today. 

Go well, go long, stay strong.

Cheers Ant Niterl
