Christchurch, New Zealand
AI Marketing Consultant
Christchurch
I'm Tom Hall-Taylor — an AI marketing consultant and fractional CMO based in New Zealand. I work with select Christchurch businesses to build marketing operations that compound over time, not campaigns that stop when the budget runs out.
What I Do for Christchurch Businesses
Fractional CMO
Senior marketing strategy without a full-time hire. I embed in your Christchurch business, own the marketing function, and drive measurable results.
AI Marketing Systems
Build AI-powered systems for content, ads, SEO, and reporting — so your marketing compounds month over month, not just campaign to campaign.
Paid Advertising
Meta Ads and Google Ads with AI optimisation. Data-driven strategy, not set-and-forget management.
Growth Strategy
Clear positioning, channel strategy, and 90-day roadmaps built around your Christchurch business — not a generic playbook.
Christchurch's Marketing Moment
Christchurch is in a genuinely exciting phase. Post-rebuild momentum, a growing tech sector, a thriving food and hospitality scene, and a manufacturing base that punches above its weight nationally. The city is moving fast — but most businesses' marketing hasn't kept up with the pace.
The opportunity: Christchurch has a strong local economy and a population that actively supports local businesses. But reaching them consistently — with the right message, at the right time — requires systems, not just social posts and the occasional ad campaign.
I work remotely with Christchurch clients — with weekly video check-ins and full visibility into everything. The best marketing partnerships I've had have been remote. Distance doesn't limit depth of work.

A Result Worth Mentioning
+30%
Above previous store record
Deep Blue Health — a New Zealand supplement brand — hit their best revenue month ever in November 2025. We built AI-native marketing systems across Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO, content, and customer support. That was the result: 30% above their previous all-time record.
Who This Is For
Christchurch businesses spending on marketing without a clear strategic direction
Founders who are doing the marketing themselves and need to hand it off properly
Businesses scaling past $1M who need senior marketing leadership without a full-time hire
Companies that want to use AI seriously — not just as a buzzword
Teams that have tried agencies and found them too expensive and too disconnected
Common Questions
Do you work with Christchurch businesses remotely?
Yes — I'm Auckland-based but work with businesses across New Zealand. All strategy sessions are via video call, and day-to-day work happens asynchronously. The model works well remotely — many of my best client relationships have been entirely digital.
What does an engagement look like?
Monthly retainer, starting with a strategy session to understand your business, goals, and current marketing state. From there I build a 90-day roadmap and execute against it — with weekly check-ins and full transparency into what's happening.
How is this different from a Christchurch marketing agency?
Agencies typically serve 20-50+ clients. I work with 3-5 at a time — maximum. You deal directly with me, not an account manager. And because I use AI systems for execution, I can deliver senior-level results at a lower cost than a full-service agency.
What's the minimum commitment?
Three months. Marketing that actually works takes time to build and compound. If someone is promising results in 30 days, they're selling you something that won't last.
