Imagery: confident professional woman, editorial-style portrait. The person who has found the right agency. Not a corporate boardroom.

Audience: Growth CMO

Marketing Directors and CMOs at NZ/AU businesses spending $50K+ p.a. on media. They've outgrown their current agency. They need attribution, senior thinking, and someone who can present to the board.

Pain point: Layers between strategy and delivery, no cross-channel visibility, can't prove ROI to the CEO.

Desire: One agency that owns the number. Senior operators on every brief. Outcomes they can report up.

Target: LinkedIn job title targeting: Marketing Director, Head of Marketing, CMO. 10–50 person company. NZ + AU. $18–28 CPM. LinkedIn Lead Gen form.

NZH Native Advertising

Editorial-format native ads for NZ Herald digital. Labelled "ADVERTISER CONTENT | RUCKUS COLLECTIVE" per NZ ASA requirements. Photography should show brand outcomes, not meetings.

The $50K media spend question every NZ founder should ask their agency

Most agencies can't answer it. If your agency can't tell you exactly what each dollar returned, you're not getting senior thinking. You're getting a report.
