The Accelerator
A turn-key marketing system, built for you.
We become your marketing team - planning, building and running your whole system, in whatever mix fits your budget. Then we teach your people to run it, so you end up owning the thing.
TL;DR
- An ad is only as good as the website it lands on - the whole chain has to work.
- The Accelerator makes us your marketing team, across every part of the system.
- We do as much or as little of the doing as your budget and team need.
- And we teach your people to run it as we go.
A note from Louis
Co-Founder, King Tide
Marketing should be a system, not one piece.

- Louis
We take on every part of your marketing. That's what makes it a system.
We go in and become the marketing function of your business - whatever that involves. If it grows your business, it's our job.
...and once it's running, we teach your people to run it
How It Works
How it runs, and what it costs.
No program, no 12-step onboarding. The first weeks are shaped around your business - then it settles into a rhythm that flexes with you.
It starts with a call
A proper chat with Louis - who you are, what you need, what you can spend. That scopes the shape of your accelerator.
A strategy or a roadmap
Larger brands get a formal strategy - charged upfront, yours to keep. Smaller companies get a simple roadmap, so the budget goes into action.
Then a monthly rhythm
The roadmap becomes tasks. Each meeting, we split them - ours and your team's - sized to your budget that month.

We share it
We drive the plan and direct your people, handle the expert work ourselves, and train your team as we go.
Want to run it yourself? We can train you to operate the whole system instead - and for eligible Waikato businesses, up to half that training is government-funded. See how.
There's no entry price.
A smaller budget just moves the mix toward teaching - we plan and direct, and you do more of the doing. A bigger one moves it toward us executing everything. Same system, same thinking, either way.

Month to month
No lock-in contracts, no exit penalties - unless you want one. You stay because the system is paying for itself.
Strategy is yours
If you commission a formal strategy, it's charged upfront - and you're welcome to take it anywhere, whether or not we execute it.
