Wellington, New Zealand
AI Marketing Consultant
Wellington
I'm Tom Hall-Taylor — an AI marketing consultant and fractional CMO based in New Zealand. I work with select Wellington businesses to build marketing operations that compound over time, not campaigns that stop when the budget runs out.
What I Do for Wellington Businesses
Fractional CMO
Senior marketing strategy without a full-time hire. I embed in your Wellington 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 Wellington business — not a generic playbook.
Wellington Businesses Are in a Unique Position
Wellington has a concentrated, educated, and digitally-savvy market. Government, tech, professional services, hospitality, and retail businesses all compete for attention in a relatively small but high-value pool of consumers and businesses.
The challenge: Wellington businesses often punch above their weight in quality, but underinvest in marketing systems that would help them reach the right people consistently. The opportunity is there — most Wellington competitors are still running marketing the old way.
I work remotely with Wellington clients (and across NZ) — with weekly video check-ins and full visibility into what's happening. Geography doesn't limit the quality of the 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
Wellington 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 Wellington 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 Wellington 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.
