About: The Story Of Virtual Marketers

2018 - When it all began...

Fran was working a 9-5 marketing job at one of New Zealand’s iconic brands, Trade Me. It was a dream job, but she found herself wondering what it would be like to work when she performed at her best (generally first thing in the morning and later in the evenings), on a range of different clients giving her more time with her family. Fran’s daydreaming soon evolved into a business, Virtual Marketers. Virtual Marketers expanded rapidly and Fran welcomed Business Partner and co-Director, Martina Saville, within a year. Both Martina and Fran have similar values and different marketing backgrounds – a perfect partnership. We now work with, and provide income for, dozens of marketers who think and work the same way. The majority of our team are based in some awesome corner of New Zealand, and loving working this way with us and NZ businesses.

Our Vision: What drives us?

To bring a refreshing marketing approach to all the businesses we work with, and the marketers we connect with. We’re building a creative community, providing them with the opportunity to work virtually with flexible hours, and enabling businesses to access the marketing services they need.

How are we different?

Partnerships

We build digital marketing partnerships with our clients, providing strategic solutions and delivery support for all projects. We take on one-off projects, however more often than not, these initial engagements grow into ongoing relationships. Our happy place is delivering flexible, part-time marketing solutions to each and every one of our clients. Cookie cutter solutions aren’t our thing - we use the latest tech and human experience to tailor our bespoke delivery.

Dream teams

Our team of digital marketing specialists combined cover the full digital marketing spectrum. Many of us have also been on both sides of the digital marketing table - client and agency. We know the pitfalls of using a traditional digital marketing agency model, including escalating fees and limited in-house skill sets.

Our established flexible working team collaborates regularly on the growing list of clients we work with. Fran and Martina manage our team to meet the ever increasing demand for remote marketing specialists.

We’re humans

When we’re not doing awesome digital marketing, we’re living our lives with our hobbies, families and anything else that we love. Our lifestyles range from living in suburbia with families, working and living in vans exploring the amazing outdoors in NZ to splitting time between the bach and home - wherever it is.

We can come to you, or work virtually. It’s your choice.

We don’t have permanent physical offices and desks, something we’re proud of, and we work in a flexible way. This enables us, and our team, to provide our expertise and experience in digital marketing to build strong strategies and brands, by working in a way that complements your business.
