The Tenzing Story

In 1953, a previously unknown Nepali guide defied normal convention by guiding an equally unknown New Zealand sheep farmer to become the first conqueror of Mount Everest.

The farmer was Edmund Hillary. His guide was Sherpa Tenzing.

A combination of leadership, expertise, teamwork and determination enabled these two men to achieve the ultimate goal - to reach the very top of the world.

Almost 50 years later, Tim Mace decided to draw inspiration from their achievement and challenge the premise that high calibre marketing services are the sole privilege of big brands
with big agencies and big budgets.

Drawing from his 20 years of brand-building experience, Tim set up Tenzing, a one-stop marketing shop to help brands - whether small or large - to scale new peaks of achievement.

By combining Tim’s strategic skills with his extensive network of high calibre specialist associates - creative, production, PR and media experts - Tenzing would be able to satisfy all its clients’ marketing needs efficiently and at a fraction of the cost of the big boys.

Here is a pictorial tribute to that unique and memorable moment: (Tenzing is on the right, taking care of the kit)
