Back 9 Design Ltd

Based in Invercargill with a second office in Christchurch, Back 9 Design Ltd (trading as Back9 Digital) is a small digital agency, founded in 2008, working with growth-minded businesses and not-for-profits across New Zealand. Rather than positioning as a conventional marketing shop, the team describes itself as a digital partner that connects strategy, design, technology and marketing into a single system intended to build long-term business value rather than one-off deliverables. Services span website and software development, including growth-driven website design, custom web development, mobile app design, e-commerce builds and UX/UI design, alongside digital marketing work covering Google Ads, Local SEO, SEO and social media advertising on Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok. The agency also offers CRM and marketing automation setup, AI agent and smart-system implementation, and a dedicated stream of digital growth support for not-for-profit organisations. Its stated method is Growth-Driven Design: building digital assets that are continuously tested, learned from and improved after launch rather than treated as finished products. This approach is intended to reduce guesswork, produce clearer performance signals, and keep websites, content and marketing systems aligned with customer behaviour and business goals over time. The team is small and describes working closely and collaboratively with each client rather than operating at scale.
