If your marketing isn’t evolving, your growth is already slowing.
AI is bringing constant change to your marketing. Clarity and strategy are your keys to growth. We provide both.
Move beyond random acts of marketing with our proven framework: The Marketing Blend.
Designed specifically for ambitious professional service businesses, our approach provides the clarity and direction you need to achieve your growth goals in today's complex, AI-influenced landscape.
HOW WE WORK
Random Acts of Marketing Don't Build Empires
Just doing random marketing tasks – a bit of this, a bit of that – usually doesn’t lead to long-term success.
It can waste your budget and confuse potential customers.
What you really need is a connected plan, so everything you do helps achieve your main business goals. That’s even more important with things like AI; having the tools isn’t enough without a strategy for using them effectively.
Our Proven 4-Phase Process for Predictable Growth
The Done By Nine Marketing Blend is our structured methodology for turning your business objectives into measurable marketing results. It ensures we focus on the right things, in the right order, at the right time.
Phase One: Start With Strategy
Everything begins here. First, we really get to know your business, customers, and goals. We start with a focused workshop where we work together to uncover key information needed for a smart plan.
Together, we build a clear roadmap for your marketing – knowing exactly who to reach, what to say, and what success looks like. It’s our plan for working together.
Phase Two: We Lead The Way
Once the plan is set, we help by leading your marketing. We don’t just tick boxes; we make sure the plan happens and keeps moving forward effectively.
You get expert marketing guidance and focus, like having a senior marketer on your team, but without the high cost.
Phase Three: Put the Plan into Action
We put the plan to work using the right marketing tools – whether it’s compelling content marketing, effective digital advertising, nurturing email campaigns, or leveraging AI tools smartly to enhance efficiency and insight.
All your marketing activities work together smoothly, making your message stronger and reaching the right people effectively. No more wasted effort.
Phase Four: We Keep You Ahead
Marketing changes fast. We keep a close eye on how things are performing, give you clear reports, and adjust the plan based on results and what’s new (including any changes AI throws at us along the way) to keep you on track.
This ensures your marketing keeps you growing and moving in the right direction. We stay accountable, help you adapt quickly, and make sure your investment keeps delivering more results over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a short (around 30 minutes) session where we aim to understand your business goals and marketing challenges. We’ll audit your current strategy, identify what’s actually driving results (and what’s just noise), and introduce you to some ideas on building a clear roadmap for growth in this AI-driven marketing landscape.
We’ll also briefly explain our ‘Marketing Blend’ process and the Accelerator session, helping you see if our approach feels like the right fit for you. There’s no obligation or hard sell.
We’ve created a ‘purposeful AI policy’ within our business (and think you should too!) and use AI tools strategically to enhance our process – for items like market research assistance, content ideation, or analysing data for insights.
Our approach is always human-led and strategy-first; AI is a tool we leverage smartly within the framework to improve efficiency and outcomes, not something that dictates your strategy.
Your first introduction to Done By Nine will likely be with Jordan McFadyen (Done By Nine Founder).
During our discovery call, we’ll ask a series of questions to understand your specific needs, and information about your business before matching you with the marketing strategist that will have the best fit to your industry and needs.
Our team of marketing strategists has experience with various businesses, from start-ups to large enterprises, and it’s important for you that we match the best skills to match your business.
We work in a unique ‘Agile Pricing’ model, meaning your marketing budget is allocated efficiently. Agile pricing ensures we can keep our ‘retainer’ affordable, while the creative assets we create for you are built if (and when) they are required to suit your budget.
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.
Eligibility criteria vary across New Zealand, and funding is not guaranteed.
Transparency is KEY! We give our clients full access to their ad accounts and analytics so that they can access it at any given time. Plus as part of your monthly Marketing Plan, you’ll have a clear picture on the goals that you need to track – and we’ll track them for you.
We provide a full summary of how your marketing plan is performing which allows us to adjust and pivot if needed.
We are members of both the Google, META, Aircall and Klaviyo Partnership Programs.
However we also work with other marketing tools including Mailchimp, Active Campaign and Hubspot.
The Google Partners program is designed for advertising agencies and digital marketing professionals who qualify based on the spend they manage, their qualifications and ad quality scores. It allows these partners certifications, exclusive training sessions, industry research and further benefits.
We do! We have our very own specialised digital design team in-house. They work closely with our campaign strategists to develop tailored creative that not only matches your brand identity, but also converts your leads.
