A multi layered marketing team for a fraction of the cost of an employee

Hiring a marketing person gets you one set of skills and one wage. Working with us gets you a media buyer, a producer and designer, a developer and digital specialist, and an account manager, all working on your business, for a monthly fee that is a fraction of that wage.

Ray Mercer plans the campaigns and buys the media across radio, TV, outdoor and digital. Tim Axton runs production: the artwork, the commercials and the schedules. Charlie Maruff builds the websites and software and runs the search and digital campaigns. Lianne Scott is your account manager and your first call.

Because it is one team in one office, a campaign that runs on radio, Google and social is planned together, made together and reported together. The person who writes your radio spot sits next to the person running your search campaign and the person building your website, and the report you get each month covers every channel.

Every account stays in your name: Google Ads, the Business Profile, Meta, LinkedIn, the domain and the hosting. Monthly services run month to month with a month's notice.

Questions we get asked

Where are you?

Suite 17, 45 Bundock Street, Belgian Gardens QLD 4810. Cairns, Mackay and Sunshine Coast clients meet us online or at the Townsville office. Each city brand has its own website.

Do you lock clients into contracts?

No. Google Ads, social and LinkedIn are month to month with a month's notice. The maps program runs three months and then stops by design. Websites are one fixed price. Radio airtime is a flat fee per campaign with no lock-in.

Who owns the accounts?

You do. Google Ads, Business Profile, Meta, LinkedIn, the domain and the hosting all stay in your name. If you leave, you take them with you.

Do you publish your prices?

Where a service has a standard price, yes, at the top of its page. Web apps, custom CRMs, programmatic, brand work and print are quoted from a brief because the scope decides the price.

Can I start with one thing?

Most clients do. A Business Profile, a search campaign or a website is the usual first job, and the rest gets added when it earns its place.

Tell us what you sell, and where

That is enough to start. We come back in business hours with the numbers for your market and a recommendation on where to begin.
