New Zealand
AI Marketing Consultant
New Zealand
I'm Tom Hall-Taylor — an NZ-based AI marketing consultant and fractional CMO. I work with select businesses across New Zealand to build marketing operations that compound over time, not campaigns that die when the budget runs out.
What I Do for NZ Businesses
Fractional CMO
Senior marketing leadership without the full-time salary. I embed in your business, own the marketing function, and drive results — for a fraction of what a CMO hire costs.
AI Marketing Systems
Build the AI infrastructure that handles content, ads, SEO, and reporting at scale. Stop campaigning. Start compounding.
Paid Advertising
Meta Ads and Google Ads managed with AI-driven optimisation. Not set-and-forget — active management with real accountability.
Growth Strategy
Clear positioning, 90-day roadmaps, and channel strategy built around your specific business and market — not a templated playbook.
Built for the NZ Market
New Zealand has a specific set of dynamics that most offshore agencies don't understand. The market is small but competitive. Audiences are sophisticated. Traditional channels are expensive relative to market size. And the real opportunity — AI-native marketing — is still largely untapped by NZ businesses.
I've built Junction Media specifically to serve the $1M–$20M NZ business: established enough to need real marketing leadership, too small to justify a full in-house team. By using AI systems for execution, I can deliver what a 10-person agency delivers — at a cost that makes sense for the NZ market.
I work with a maximum of 3–5 clients at any time. That's a deliberate constraint — it's how I give each business the attention and strategic depth that actually moves the needle. You get direct access to a senior strategist, not an account manager.
Working Across New Zealand
Based in Auckland, I work with businesses across New Zealand — both in-person (Auckland) and remotely (Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga, and beyond). Modern marketing strategy doesn't require you to be in the same city.
Proof It Works
+30%
Above previous store record
Deep Blue Health — a New Zealand supplement brand — achieved their best revenue month ever in November 2025. We built AI-native marketing systems across Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO, content, and customer support. Result: 30% above their previous all-time record.

Common Questions
Do you only work with Auckland businesses?
No — I work with businesses across New Zealand. I'm Auckland-based, but I work remotely with clients in Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga, and beyond. Most of our work happens via video calls and shared systems anyway.
How is a fractional CMO different from a marketing agency?
An agency sells services — SEO, ads, content. They don't own strategy. A fractional CMO is embedded in your leadership team, owns marketing outcomes, and drives the strategy. I work with 3–5 clients max, not 30. You get direct access to me, not an account manager.
What does an engagement cost?
I work on monthly retainer. Pricing depends on scope — whether you need strategy-only, or strategy plus execution. Engagements start from $5k/month. The right question is whether the ROI justifies it: if I can help you grow revenue by $20k+/month, the math is straightforward.
How do you use AI differently from a regular agency?
AI is the execution infrastructure, not a gimmick. I use AI systems to produce content at scale, analyse performance data in real-time, manage ad creative testing, build automated marketing workflows, and deliver reporting. One person with AI does what a 5–10 person team used to do.
What's the minimum commitment?
I work in 3-month minimum engagements. Marketing compounds — it doesn't produce results in 30 days. 3 months is the minimum to see meaningful data and build the systems that actually change a business trajectory.
