HOW WE WORK
The Marketing Blend: Strategic digital marketing paired with dynamic creativity.
As a strategy-first marketing company, we are committed to cutting through the clutter and providing clear, tailored marketing services.
Our proven Marketing Blend framework is a four-phase approach to building your marketing strategy.
Your digital strategy, spanning across branding, content, social media, and media campaigns, uncovers new opportunities and demonstrates their value in enhancing your marketing efforts.
And it stays true to our mission of providing transparent, actionable marketing that gets results.
Phase One: Marketing Strategy
Your marketing strategy will be developed based on insights we gather from your team and analysis conducted by ours.
It will clarify who you’re marketing to, who your competitors are (and how we can position your marketing efforts to compete with them), and it will outline the objectives that you’re striving to achieve through your marketing.
This process also allows us to understand your business, your customer personas (and where they are online), your sales process, and your current marketing efforts.
From there, we’ll be in a position to advise where your marketing budget is best placed to capture your audience.
Gain access to our diverse team of marketers who thrive on developing innovative and engaging ideas to get business in front of your audience.
Phase Two: Marketing Idea Incubator
Too many ideas, and not enough action? Let out ‘Idea Incubator’ help.
In addition to your strategy, we’ll develop and document all the ideas we’ve generated to bring your strategy to life.
The ‘Idea Incubator’ is where we meticulously list your crucial marketing goals and KPI’s, alongside all the different ideas and marketing tactics we’ve developed in our strategic planning.
This is an essential piece of the puzzle that allows us to strategically add priorities around the tactics you should be focusing on now versus ones that will come as your marketing strategy grows.
Phase Three: The Marketing Blend
With the strategy as our northern star, we’ll begin blending the tactics that will move you toward your marketing goals.
Inevitably, we’ll begin with a long wish list of marketing ideas, but the magic happens when the tactics are no longer working independently of each other, but working in unison.
The monthly marketing blend will be reflective of the impact you want to make, the budget you have, and the resources that are available to make it happen.
Your Marketing Blend is presented to you (and your team) in an easy to read format, allowing full transparency on price, tasks, and progress.
Phase Four: Marketing Strategy Implementation
Strategy comes first, however, for when your marketing budget allows we also have an incredibly talented team to help take the implementation off your plate.
We’ll get in front of your audience with charismatic design and branding, creative imagery, and clever copy.
Our team works best in creating powerful digital advertising campaigns, email marketing and social media schedules.
With the right marketing tactics in the right place at the right time, we’ll put you in a solid position to capture your prospects, attract future customers and sustainably increase business revenue.

As a strategy-first marketing provider, we guide all our clients through ‘Phase One’ to ‘Phase Three’ at a minimum, ensuring a comprehensive strategy.
The initial cost for clients starts from $4,500 NZD + GST (dependent on the complexity and size of your business), with no long-term commitment required.

If this initial budget is out of reach, consider starting with a ‘Marketing Blend Consultancy’ option, which is designed for smaller budgets and new businesses.
Our services may be eligible for up to 50% funding through the Regional Business Partners network.
This includes a variation of our one-to-one sessions as we work through ‘Phase One’ to ‘Phase Three’. Note that setup and implementation services mentioned above are not covered.
