Marketing agency
for Hamilton
Strategy, websites, ads, SEO, and AI — for Hamilton businesses that want marketing to actually work. We build the system, train your team, and get out of the way.
Why Hamilton businesses choose King Tide
Hamilton is one of New Zealand's fastest-growing cities. More people, more businesses, more competition. The businesses that win aren't the ones with the biggest budgets — they're the ones with the smartest marketing systems.
We're local
Our office is in Kihikihi — 30 minutes from Hamilton CBD. We know the Waikato market, we know the competition, and we can meet you for a coffee to talk it through. No offshore teams, no account managers in Auckland who've never been south of the Bombay Hills.
We own the full funnel
Most agencies specialise in one thing — ads, or SEO, or websites. When one piece breaks, they blame the other pieces. We own the entire marketing system — from first click to closed deal — so nothing falls through the cracks.
We build to hand over
We don't want you on retainer forever. We build your marketing machine, train your team to run it, and step back. Inside 12–18 months, you should be flying solo. That's a good outcome for you — and it's how we prefer to work.

Hamilton industries we work with
We've worked across most industries — here's where we see the most demand from Hamilton and the wider Waikato.
Tech & SaaS
Hamilton's tech sector is growing fast. We help SaaS companies and tech startups build lead generation engines that scale — from landing pages and paid acquisition to email nurture sequences.
Professional Services
Accountants, lawyers, consultants, and advisors across Hamilton compete for the same clients. We build marketing systems that position you as the obvious choice — not just another option.
Health & Wellness
From physios and dentists to gyms and wellness studios — Hamilton has a competitive health sector. We help you stand out with local SEO, Google Ads, and websites that actually book appointments.
Trades & Construction
Hamilton tradies are busy, but most rely on word-of-mouth alone. We build simple marketing systems — Google Ads, a site that converts, and automated follow-up — so the phone keeps ringing even when referrals slow down.
Hospitality & Food
Hamilton's food and hospitality scene is thriving. We help restaurants, cafes, and venues build their brand on social media, run targeted local ads, and keep customers coming back with email and loyalty campaigns.
Agriculture & Agritech
The Waikato is the heart of NZ agriculture. We work with agribusinesses and agritech companies to build brand awareness, generate qualified leads, and tell their story to the right audience.
Hamilton is growing. Your marketing should be too.
Hamilton is the fourth-largest city in New Zealand and one of the fastest growing. The population is tipping toward 200,000, new suburbs are popping up in Rototuna and Peacocke, and the business environment is getting more competitive every year.
That's great if you're a business owner — more people means more customers. But it also means more competitors chasing the same audience. The businesses that invest in proper marketing systems now will dominate their category for the next decade.
We're not in Hamilton CBD — we're 30 minutes south in Kihikihi. That keeps our overheads low (which keeps your prices reasonable) and means we're close enough to meet whenever you need us.
