Dunedin businesses don't need another generic AI pitch. Growth marketing only earns its keep when it's built around the workflow you actually run on a wet Tuesday, and that's how we scope every engagement we take on in Otago.
Growth marketing that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Otago.
Our goal is to give Dunedin businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What growth marketing actually does
We run the whole growth function: the offer, the channels that reach your buyers, and the reporting that shows which of it actually paid. One owner for the funnel instead of four vendors pointing at each other.
- 01 Positioning and offer work before a dollar goes to media
- 02 Paid search and paid social, built and managed in-house
- 03 Lifecycle email and SMS wired to your CRM
- 04 A single dashboard covering spend, leads, and closed revenue
Built on: Google Ads API Meta Marketing API HubSpot Claude Looker Studio
What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of growth marketing runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for Dunedin businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How growth marketing compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |

Talk to us about this →How we build growth marketing for a Dunedin team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Dunedin business, so value lands before the build is finished. One owner for the funnel.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Dunedin businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for Dunedin teams
A weekly number you can act on, not a monthly slide deck. For Dunedin teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for growth marketing with a Dunedin?
Most Dunedin businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
What does growth marketing cost for a Dunedin?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
What's the realistic outcome for Dunedin businesses?
A weekly number you can act on, not a monthly slide deck. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
Growth marketing is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Google Ads API, Meta Marketing API, HubSpot, Claude, Looker Studio are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
