AI ads in Cromwell.
Built and supported here - the way a Cromwell business would actually use it.
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Cromwell businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Nearly half of New Zealand's export cherries come from the Cromwell Basin. When picking starts, AI keeps orders, staff and export paperwork moving.
What AI ads actually do
AI-generated ad creative, auto-tested headlines, and bid management that actually watches CPL - not just CPC. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What changes for Cromwell teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Average 38% lower cost-per-lead vs. agency-managed accounts. Kiwi Dynamics

Straight answers
What's a typical engagement length for Cromwell businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Average 38% lower cost-per-lead vs. agency-managed accounts.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
