01Overview

Who they are

Harper Digital is a New Zealand owned digital marketing agency, founded in Auckland in 2016 and also working out of Tauranga.

The work is performance-led: Google Ads, paid social across Meta, LinkedIn, Pinterest and TikTok, programmatic, SEO and the newer discipline of answer and generative engine optimisation, plus website development and e-commerce marketing. Reporting is live rather than monthly, which the agency treats as part of the offer.

Clients include Bayleys, Enrich Living Services, Nara by Skillhire and I Love Takapuna.

What clients say

As we were wanting to increase traffic flow to our website, we engaged Thomas and his team at Harper Digital to make changes and modernise our old site. We are incredibly happy with both the outcome and process to get our desired outcome. I would highly recommend both Thomas and Harper Digital to anyone looking for a new website, especially if they want to increase sales as a result.

Harper Digital and Nick Nel are great to work with. Nick has taken the time to get into the details of our Google Ads account and has made strategic changes to our overall approach and account structure, improving our ad performance and lead generation.

We have partnered with Harper for 3 years...this has included 3 website builds, lots of performance marketing and a lot of great wins. We have found this to be an excellent partnership - Harper are willing to let us bring our expertise to the areas we excel in and bring theirs to help bolster our wide marketing initiatives.
Karla Byrnes
We are a roofing company with approx 20 employees and recently completed a review of our SEO marketing. We went to market to find the best partner for our needs. After interviewing several companies, we chose Harper Digital due to their professionalism and the exceptional support they provided throughout the process. We highly recommend Harper Digital — and especially Thomas — for the outstanding work he delivered, which has produced results well beyond our expectations.
