Based in the Waikato • Serving Huntly & Northern Waikato
Marketing agency
for Huntly
Strategy, websites, ads, SEO, and AI — for Huntly businesses that want marketing to actually work. We build the system, train your team, and get out of the way.
Why Huntly businesses choose King Tide
Huntly is a town in transition — new residents, new housing developments, and a growing community that needs local businesses to step up. The ones that invest in smart marketing now will own their category as the town grows.
We're local
Our office is in Kihikihi — 40 minutes south of Huntly. We know the Waikato market, we understand small-town dynamics, and we can meet you in person to talk it through. No offshore teams, no account managers in Auckland who've never set foot in the Waikato.
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.

Huntly industries we work with
We've worked across most industries — here's where we see the most opportunity for Huntly and the Northern Waikato.
Trades & Construction
Huntly's growing population means more houses, more renovations, and more infrastructure work. We help local tradies and builders move beyond word-of-mouth with Google Ads, a website that converts, and automated follow-up — so you're not turning down work one month and scrambling for it the next.
Retail & Main Street
New residents are moving into Huntly and they're looking for local shops and services. We help Main Street retailers get found online, build a local following on social media, and run targeted campaigns that bring foot traffic through the door — not just likes on a post.
Transport & Logistics
Huntly sits on the Waikato Expressway between Hamilton and Auckland — a natural hub for transport and logistics. We help freight, courier, and supply chain businesses build professional brands, generate commercial leads, and stand out in a sector where reputation is everything.
Food & Hospitality
With more families and commuters settling in Huntly, the demand for quality cafes, takeaways, and dining is growing fast. We help hospitality businesses build their brand on social media, show up in local search results, and keep customers coming back with smart email and loyalty campaigns.
Professional Services
Accountants, lawyers, mortgage brokers, and advisors in Huntly serve a growing population that's increasingly looking local first. We build marketing systems that position you as the go-to professional in the area — not someone people drive to Hamilton to find.
Health & Community Services
GPs, physios, pharmacies, and community organisations are essential as Huntly grows. We help health and community providers reach new residents with local SEO, Google Ads, and websites that make it easy to book, enrol, or get in touch.
Huntly is growing. Local businesses need to keep up.
Huntly is no longer just the town you drive through on the way to Auckland. Affordable housing and the Waikato Expressway have turned it into a genuine commuter hub — new families are moving in from Hamilton and Auckland, and the population is climbing.
That's a huge opportunity for local businesses. More residents means more demand for trades, retail, food, health services, and professional advice. But these new arrivals search online first. If your business doesn't show up on Google or look credible on a phone screen, they'll drive to Hamilton instead.
We're about 40 minutes south in Kihikihi — close enough to meet in person, far enough that our overheads stay low (which keeps your costs reasonable). We help Huntly businesses capture the growing local market with websites, ads, and marketing systems that actually bring people through the door.
