M8 Studio

Based in Christchurch, M8 Studio is a boutique digital marketing agency working with B2B, B2C and ecommerce businesses across New Zealand and Australia. The studio positions itself as a senior-led operation, meaning the marketer who develops a client's strategy is also the one carrying out the work, rather than handing delivery off to junior staff. It presents itself as an extension of a client's own team, aimed at businesses that want a marketing partner working in close proximity rather than at arm's length. Services cover marketing consultation, marketing strategy and planning, digital marketing and advertising, and website design and development. Consultation sessions focus on clarifying commercial priorities, target audience and offer. Strategy and planning work establishes positioning, messaging and the role of each channel before any spend takes place, so that campaigns stay consistent from first contact through to enquiry or sale. On the advertising side, M8 Studio manages Google Ads, Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram, and LinkedIn ads, combining strategy, paid media, creative and measurement. Website work involves designing and building professional sites and B2B trade portals on Squarespace, including portals with secure login and partner-only access to resources, documents and trade pricing. Website projects start from $3,500 NZD, and ongoing marketing management starts from $750 NZD per month, with final costs confirmed once scope is agreed.
