Empire9 Limited

Based in Christchurch, Empire9 Limited is a small digital marketing team that has operated in the industry for 11 years, working with both New Zealand businesses and clients further afield. The agency describes itself as an extension of a client's own team, taking a collaborative approach that includes in-person briefings and strategy sessions rather than working at arm's length. It works with businesses across sectors that are looking to grow their digital presence, and states an openness to partnering with companies regardless of location, provided there is a good working fit. Services span digital strategy and campaign planning through to execution and reporting, covering SEO, local SEO and broader search marketing, pay per click and Google Ads management, Google Analytics (GA4), Google Display, Google Business Profile and Google Search Console setup, social media marketing, content marketing and content capture, email and database marketing, and third-party ad serving. Clients working with Empire9 are assigned a dedicated Account Manager who acts as the main point of contact and coordinates timelines, connecting them with relevant specialists within the team. For branding, design, and web or app development work, Empire9 partners with the creative and technical agency Publica, aiming to offer a combined service alongside its own digital marketing and Google-focused offerings.
