Paid digital advertising. We make the ads and manage them.

Either supply your existing creative, or have our digital design team make it in-house. Our campaign strategists, alongside our Growth Seeker software, manage the media: one team, one brief, one set of numbers to answer for, and paid advertising that grows your business.

We build and manage paid media campaigns across channels like Google, Meta and LinkedIn, covering search, social, display and video, with the testing, optimisation and data-led decisions that keep them honest.

We have our own specialised digital design team in-house, working alongside the campaign strategists, so the ad and the thinking behind it are made by people in the same conversation. You also get your own reporting portal inside Growth Seeker, which shows you what is happening in the account.

What you pay scales with what you spend: a small always-on budget and a national campaign are not the same job. Our ad management packages start from $950 a month, and the Price and Fit Check gives you an indicative figure and a straight answer on whether we are the right fit.

How we run paid advertising

  1. 01

    Audit what’s running

    We start in your accounts rather than in a deck: what campaigns are live, what it costs, what is actually being tracked and working, and what the money already spent has to show for it.

  2. 02

    Make the creative

    Our own digital design team builds the assets (the copy, the stills, the motion, and the variants a real test needs) to your brand rather than adapted from a template.

  3. 03

    Launch and optimise

    Campaigns go live as structured tests rather than one big bet. We keep what works, cut what does not, and move budget toward the audiences and messages earning it.

  4. 04

    Report and decide

    You keep your own access to the ad accounts and the analytics, and your own dashboard inside Growth Seeker, where we post the weekly read of what changed and what we are doing about it. We are looking at the same screen you are.

IN THEIR WORDS

Since we started in 2020, we have grown 50 percent year on year. I really do think that Done By Nine has helped us achieve that level of success.

THE CREATIVE HALF

We make the ads

Static, motion, copy, and the variants a proper test needs. All built by our own digital design team, to your brand guidelines, alongside the strategists running the campaign.

THE MANAGEMENT HALF

We run them

Structure, bidding, audiences, testing, and the weekly read of what changed. Our Growth Seeker software constantly monitors change in spend, customer behaviour and the digital platforms, keeping you one step ahead.

The rest of what we do

  • Marketing Campaigns

    We do it all. From concept to execution. We build strategy-led marketing campaigns that start with clear objectives, and extend to every creative output – from visual identity and messaging to design and delivery.

  • Websites

    Websites are changing, and yours needs to stay current. Ask for a copy change and it happens. One prompt to our systems rewrites the copy, across every page at once, so the site content stays current without a developer, a ticket or a week of CMS training. The assistant audits the pages and reviews their SEO in the same pass.

  • Marketing Tools

    We build marketing dashboards and tools scoped against a problem only your business has. We start with where the time goes and where two systems disagree and build the smallest version that genuinely helps. It reports into the strategy we run, so the same numbers drive both. Growth Seeker, our own software, learns from NZ$200,000 of ad spend every month, so you can be confident your campaigns are in the best hands and able to adapt to change.

What running your ads costs

Two ways to run this: we manage the accounts, and we make the creative as well if you would rather it came from the same team.

Frequently asked questions

Who takes care of the creative design of the campaigns and posts?

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.

What partnership programs are you a member of?

We are members of both the Google, META, Aircall and Klaviyo Partnership Programs.

However we also work with other marketing tools including 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.

How will I know if my new marketing plan is going well?

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.

You also get your own portal inside Growth Seeker, where we post your latest reports and analysis. You stay in complete control and can see exactly what we are working on.

Do you do contracts?

We keep contracts short, and we like to start with a 90-day sprint. That is enough time to make the changes that matter, adjust to the data, and understand your business properly, so you get actual expertise rather than cheap tactics. After that, most clients run month to month or in 60 or 90 day sprints.

Prices are NZD and exclude GST; Australian clients are billed in AUD.

Which member of the Done By Nine team will I work with?

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, B2B to e-commerce, and it’s important for you that we match the best skills to match your business.
