Direct digital expertise, shaped by more than two decades online
I’m Marcus. I help New Zealand businesses make clearer decisions about websites, search, advertising and ecommerce.
The short version
Experience without the agency layers
I have worked professionally online since 1998, through major shifts in design, search, ecommerce and advertising.
Clients work directly with me—from the first conversation through the thinking, implementation and ongoing improvement. That keeps the work connected to the business problem.
