Growth marketing in Waiheke Island.
Built and supported here - the way a Waiheke Island business would actually use it.
Waiheke fills up every summer with visitors heading for the vineyards and beaches. We automate bookings, enquiries and seasonal staff admin for the island's small teams.
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. 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.
Waiheke Island, up close.
Tourism is an important part of the Waiheke economy, with visitors drawn to its beaches and boutique vineyards, and up to a quarter of adult summer residents work in tourism-related jobs.
Waiheke is a 35-minute ferry ride from Auckland's city centre. The island's population swells every summer with visitors.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

Definitely not a typical AI agency.

Questions Waiheke Island businesses ask
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default growth marketing stack we reach for is Google Ads API, Meta Marketing API, HubSpot, Claude, Looker Studio, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
What's a typical engagement length for Waiheke Island 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.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its 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.
