What a junior in-house hire costs you
$65,000–$70,000/yr
Plus KiwiSaver, sick leave, annual leave, and recruitment fees. 1–2 years experience. Likely to leave in 18 months.
What a senior in-house hire costs you
$110,000–$140,000/yr+
Same overhead as above. And when they leave — and they will — you start from zero again.
What you save working with Jason

You aren't just saving on salary; you're eliminating the cost of turnover. While the average marketer moves on every 18 months, I provide a permanent growth system for your business. It's expertise focused on your long-term success.

I believe that marketing should be about ownership, not just oversight.

You deserve a leader who is as invested in your ROI as you are, yet the traditional solutions are often designed to protect their own interests, not yours. Does this cycle sound familiar?

Agencies prioritise their scale over your growth. You're often handed off to a junior manager who puts your budget on autopilot. You're not buying expertise; you're buying a monthly PDF report while your strategy sits in a desk drawer.

Traditional hiring prioritises a "seat" over a system. The revolving door of in-house talent is exhausting. You spend months onboarding a hire only for them to leave in 18-24 months, taking your institutional knowledge and momentum with them.

Tactics without a "Why" are just expensive noise. When your Meta ads, SEO, and email don't talk to each other, you don't have a strategy - you have a collection of bills. Without a single point of accountability, you're just guessing.

Stagnation is the highest price you pay. Every month you spend "figuring it out" is a month your competitors compound their lead. You know you're leaving money on the table; you just haven't had a partner focused enough to help you grab it.

There is a more intentional way to scale. I believe in providing senior-level accountability without the $100k+ salary or the "agency-client" disconnect. I call it fractional marketing management, and it's how I help ambitious businesses stop gambling and start growing.

The strategy, the execution, and the results.

I believe marketing falls apart when it's siloed. That's why I take full responsibility for the entire ecosystem; bridging the gap between the big-picture strategy, and the daily execution so nothing gets lost in translation.

The cost of growth shouldn't be a compromise.

How it works
1
The real conversation
We start with a 30-minute discovery call. No sales pitch, no pressure. I want to hear about your goals and where you've been burned before. If I don't think I can move the needle for you, I'll tell you immediately.
2
The deep dive audit
If we're a fit, I'll audit your entire marketing ecosystem. Ads, SEO, funnels, and analytics. I'll find exactly where your budget is being wasted and where your biggest opportunities are hiding.
3
The 12-month roadmap
I'll build your full, tailored growth plan. This isn't a generic template; it's a specific strategy including channels, budgets, and projected outcomes. You'll see exactly how I intend to scale your business.
4
The honest choice
If you love the plan and want me to lead the execution, we hit the ground running. If not? You keep the roadmap with my best wishes. I'd rather lose a lead than start a partnership that isn't 100% aligned.
