Speaking of hits, Justin was a sports columnist for NZ Golf Magazine for fours years. At the same time he worked as TV writer for Flux Media before taking up a role at Newsroom, where his individual stlye stood out.

Justin was the news when he made a website to celebrate businesses that managed to retain staff during the GFC. His site featured on CNN and North and South magazine crowned Justin ‘NZ Businessperson of the Year’ for his efforts.
