Ricardo Simich is the New Zealand Herald’s Spy Editor. Based in Auckland he covers all roads that lead to popular culture.
Ricardo has been with the Herald since 2008 where he contributed to The Business Insider. In 2012 he took over Spy at the Herald on Sunday. The brand famous for its gossip and social pages was refocused to celebrate society, entertainment and pop culture. In the worlds of the rich and famous, A-listers of the moment from the stars of movies, television, music, content creators, sport and politics too. Spy celebrates them all. A-list hook-ups and break-ups are still part of the make-up, Ricardo and Spy cover everyone and everything that are creating the headlines of the day. Ricardo is still a Man About Town, although he says he is a lot more chill than in the preceding manic decades and doesn’t quite attend all of the openings of envelopes he once did. He still has his finger on the pulse with an enviable contact book. Ricardo is a self-confessed media junkie and loves the adrenaline of its ever-changing landscape of platforms. When he is not Mr Spy, Ricardo gives advice to anyone who will listen at his Boutique Marketing firm One Agency.
