That’s what marketing’s about, right?

We are a New Zealand owned indie shopper marketing agency working at the pointy end of marketing, doing things that no matter what your budget, will really make a difference.
‍
For 30 years, we've been getting brands noticed by connecting with shoppers in simple, creative ways, often even before they reach the in-store brand battlefield, to clean out your shelves and displays!

Shopper.

To put it bluntly we know our stuff! We take your insights and come up with winning ideas that first capture shopper’s minds, then their hearts and wallets.

From the smallest design job, to point of sale, trade incentives and sales promotions to fully integrated omni-channel shopper campaigns we do it all and even wobblers too!

We’re up for your challenge.

Branded stuff.

Everybody loves a freebie. Collectables, gift-with-purchase or branded merch. From design, sourcing and running short term loyalty programs, let us navigate the tricky world of premium sourcing for you. Get beyond the Alibaba amateurs and work with us - a business with over 30 years’ experience and resource. Bespoke or off-the-shelf products – from Shortland Street signature perfumes to talking Mad Butcher figurines and everything in-between. Anyone can source a sausage, but we source the sizzle!

Experiential.

If you want to give people a taste of your brand or just a taste of your latest product, we do that.

We’ll deliver a positive brand experience anywhere in the country via in-store sampling, out of home activations, trade fairs or your events. Or we can simply supply great talent at a great rate.

A proud GenXer with an impressive collection of New Wave vinyl that he rarely gets to spin these days except when the missus is out. Bob’s marketing tastes are similarly very specialised, and expertise around promoting sales is his forte. Bob loves time with family and friends, fishing and losing small white balls all over the world. He and wife Juanita, have 3 twenty-somethings (Georgia, Lauren & Kyle), 1 dog (Django), 1 cat (Pebbles) and at any given time, about 100 head of beef cattle (ensuring BTL bbqs have the best snags and steaks in town.)

Bob Faram

Managing Director & Founding Partner

Nick is our Art Director, a 30 year veteran of the creative industry, and when he’s not directing art he can usually be found with a hammer in hand ‘improving’ his home. Originally from the North of England, Nick made the sensible move to New Zealand with his wife 20 years ago.

He shares his dream home in the Waitakere bush with his wife, daughter and their two cats (far enough out of town not to hear the swearing when he hammers his finger or the moaning in general!)

Nick Wilson

Director, Premiums & Merchandise

Julie and Lucy are the glue that holds the office together.

Julie is married to Rusty and have two beautiful daughters, Bodelle and Stacey.

In her spare time, you will find her tramping, travelling with friends or escaping to her piece of paradise in Matarangi.

Julie Brooke

Client Service & Admin Executive

Lucy is Julie's vibrant, loveable spoodle who comes into the office every day with her.

Lucy loves keeping an eye on visitors, especially the courier drivers!
She hasn't bitten any ... yet, and her bark is definitely worse than her bite.

She's a little bit special, just like Jules. Lucy enjoys getting her hair cut, walks on the beach and quiet evenings reading Mills & Boon, snuggled up in her favourite spot.

Jade embraces challenges willingly and enthusiastically and with her eager can-do attitude, she will always demonstrate her dedication with a big smile.

Ryan made New Zealand his home in 2013. With 13 years' experience in export/import and the supply chain industry, BTL was very quick to secure his specialist knowledge and he's been our Super Sourcer since.

It allows us to pass on maximum savings between actual and perceived value when it comes to sales promotion or short term loyalty programs requiring bulk premiums. Ryan has saved our clients literally millions on merchandise!If it exists, he will find it, if it doesn't, he'll get it made. From wooden toys to replica 1:1 Martin jetpacks, Ryan has done it all!

I have 28 years experience in advertising, running a studio. I’m usually grumpy as everything is soooo urgent! I love design and the challenge of making it a reality. Things I’ve learnt during lockdown: I am a failed school teacher. I have become a better parent. Don’t have my kids in the room during online work meetings.
