Agencies we partner with
Our trusted partners, we work with them regularly. They're neat!
Alex Slack
Alex is the founder of Dollop Design, our go-to Webflow partner based in Tauranga. He’s spent years building brands, websites and illustration work for clients across New Zealand and the UK, earning a spot in Creativepool’s Top 25 Web Designers along the way.
When a project calls for a beautifully built, business-savvy Webflow site, Alex and the Dollop team are exactly who we bring in.
Adrian Smith
For projects that need genuine craft behind the camera, Virtual Marketers partners with Adrian at Air Picture Company.
Based in Wellington and working across New Zealand, Australia and the UK, Adrian specialises in video production and photography that takes content to new heights, drone and aerial work, location and lifestyle shoots, and the kind of cinematic storytelling that makes a brand’s work genuinely stand out rather than just get seen.
Where this partnership adds real value is in the range: from adventure and outdoor-lifestyle content through to real estate, corporate, and event coverage, Adrian brings the versatility to capture a client’s story wherever it happens to unfold, on location, in the air, or somewhere in between.
It’s the same model as everything else Virtual Marketers does: one accountable point of contact for the client, with specialist production craft sitting exactly where it should. Adrian handles the shoot, from concept to final cut, Virtual Marketers handles making sure it lands as part of the bigger campaign picture.
Jess & Matt
For work that needs real creative thinking behind it, not just execution, Virtual Marketers partners with Jess and Matt at People With Ideas. Built around solving problems creatively, People With Ideas starts with the why before the what, figuring out what’s actually worth making, where it should go, and how to make it land, rather than jumping straight to a shot list.
That strategy-first approach is what makes the partnership work. Jess and Matt bring planning, content, and production capability across video, podcasts, photography, live streaming, and motion graphics, all built around a clear point of view rather than content for content’s sake.
It’s the same model as everything else Virtual Marketers does: one accountable point of contact for the client, with the creative thinking sitting exactly where it should. Jess and Matt handle the idea and its execution, Virtual Marketers handles making sure it plays its part in the bigger campaign.

Expecting one internal marketer to write killer copy, design graphics, manage ads, and master SEO is asking for a unicorn (and a recipe for burnout!). With Virtual Marketers, you don’t just get one marketer wearing ten hats. You get an entire squad of specialised marketing and design brains for a fraction of the cost, with total flexibility to scale hours up or down as you grow.
We take on focused, one-off projects all the time! While our “happy place” is building ongoing, long-term partnerships where we truly embed ourselves in your brand, many of our longest client relationships actually started with a single project.
It’s entirely your call. We’re proudly remote-first, which means no fancy office overhead costs passed on to you. Our team lives in some awesome spots in New Zealand. We can collaborate seamlessly via Zoom, or pop into your office for big strategy sessions and creative brainstorms.
You get seasoned talent matched specifically to your business needs. Fran and Alana lead our team of marketing specialists, ensuring top-tier strategy and creative execution every time. When we reach capacity, we tap into our tight pool of trusted marketing specialist contractors who we collaborate with on a regular basis. You always get experienced, dedicated experts seamlessly driving your marketing forward – all based in NZ.
