# King Tide Marketing

> King Tide Marketing is a Waikato-based marketing agency and coaching business serving New Zealand small and medium businesses. We offer full-service marketing, marketing coaching, and specific marketing services built around our Impact Marketing Framework. Based in Kihikihi, we work with businesses across the Waikato and throughout New Zealand.

King Tide Marketing helps business owners turn marketing into their greatest business asset. We focus on the 20% of marketing that drives 80% of results, owning the full marketing funnel rather than specialising in one channel.

## Key Philosophy

- Marketing should be a business owner's greatest asset, not their biggest frustration
- 80% across the full funnel beats 95% in one specialist channel
- The best marketing agency is one that makes itself replaceable — we build the machine and hand it over
- There are 10,000 things a business could do for marketing; we run the 10 that matter
- Generalists who own the gaps between channels outperform specialists who only own their piece
