Big agency thinking.
Small business pricing.
Wellington digital marketing, website design and SEO consulting — from someone who's done it for Nike, Google and NZTA.
I've spent 20 years at the top end of town — Saatchi & Saatchi, Ghost Chips and all. Now, as a small business owner myself, I know exactly how this goes: you spend money on someone who talks a good game, the results are fuzzy at best, and you end up more cynical about marketing than when you started.
I work directly with small and medium New Zealand businesses to deliver high-conversion website design, ROI-focused social ads, and SEO strategies that actually find customers. You get elite technical execution and global experience applied to your bottom line, without the agency BS.
Featured Work
I delivered high-impact video content for global names like Pepsi, Carnival, and Mountain Dew—all produced in-house on lean, shoestring budgets. This proves that you don’t need a massive crew to get premium results. I now bring that same "low-waste, high-output approach to Wellington SMEs.
WEBSITE AND SOCIALS
We transitioned this industry leader from an outdated identity to a high-performance digital experience. By blending a new brand ID with strategic web writing and accessible UX design, we built a site that aligns perfectly with parent aspirations and school-readiness goals. Practical, professional, and built for conversion.
WEBSITE AND SOCIALS
SOCIALS AND VIDEO PRODUCTION
As co-founder of this Wellington editorial platform, we built a Squarespace site and used social media as the primary engine for growth. From Christchurch surfers and skaters to Auckland hip hop artists, we delivered culturally relevant content designed specifically for our Aotearoa audience — and proved that you don't need an expensive website. You need the right idea.
DIGITAL MARKETING
Strategy and campaign management that ties everything together. I map out exactly what works for your business and build a system around it — not a random mix of tactics.
WEBSITES
Fast, high-conversion, mobile-first websites engineered to turn visitors into customers. You don't need an expensive custom build. You need the right idea.
SERVICES
SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media management and content creation across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. Social that builds your business, not just your follower count.
PAID ADS
ROI-focused paid Meta, Linked and Google Ads. Every campaign tested, measured and optimised against real outcomes — not vanity metrics.
VIDEO
Video is the priority for every social algorithm. I provide strategic direction and production for short-form video that tells your brand story and stops the scroll.
SEO & LOCAL SEARCH
SEO services for NZ small businesses — local SEO, the Google Map Pack, and AI answer engines. Get found by the people who are actually looking for you.
Non-profits & Fundraising
Helping those who help our community. I love helping the people who keep Wellington running. Having worked with global names like Amnesty International and UNICEF, I know how to turn a mission into a movement. I cut through the noise by mapping out a simple donor journey for you. Whether it’s securing your $10k/mo Google Ad Grant or fixing a leaky donation funnel, I build systems that make you look like a leader. No fluff—just the pragmatic tools you need to stay established and funded.
The Local Impact Rate: I offer specialised, reduced pricing for registered Wellington charities to ensure high-level strategy stays accessible to those doing the real work.
Everyone's telling you AI will transform your business. Most of them are trying to sell you something.
I spent two years at Google helping build Bard — the precursor to Gemini. I know what this technology can actually do for a small business, and more importantly, what it can't.
I'll show you the tools genuinely worth your time, help you use them properly, and make sure you're not wasting money on AI slop or $2,000 courses built on hype.

Winning the internet for THE day
WITH 2 MILLION UNIQUE
VIEWS ON AN ORGANIC POST
“I worked with Mitch when he was the Creative Director at Red Engine. Mitch had a straight up approach I really appreciated. His work was always strategically sound and his creative direction ensured some of our work literally ‘broke the internet’. For example, his work on a simple April Fools post got over 2 million unique reach.”
