Why fractional
New Zealand businesses punch above their weight. Marketing should too.
New Zealand's SMB market punches above its weight, but senior marketing talent is expensive and scarce. A full-time marketing director costs NZD $150,000–$200,000/year. A fractional model delivers the same from $1,000/month.
New Zealand businesses expanding to Australia, Asia, or globally need marketing leadership built for growth beyond the domestic market. Opère18's multi-market experience across APAC, UK, and US makes it the right partner for NZ businesses with international ambitions.

Common questions
Fractional marketing in New Zealand, answered.
How much does a fractional marketing director cost in New Zealand?
Opère18 publishes its pricing: Starter is $1,000/month, Growth $2,000/month, and Authority $3,000/month, with a 3-month minimum and month-to-month after. No sales call is required to get a number. That is a fraction of a full-time marketing director hire in New Zealand.
What does a fractional marketing director do for New Zealand businesses?
A fractional marketing director owns your marketing function, not just individual tasks: strategy and 90-day planning, SEO, paid media (Google, Meta, LinkedIn), content, Google Business Profile, and monthly reporting. You get CMO-level leadership and execution without the cost or ramp time of a full-time hire.
Fractional marketing director vs agency vs full-time hire in New Zealand?
New Zealand businesses expanding to Australia, Asia, or globally need marketing leadership built for growth beyond the domestic market. Opère18's multi-market experience across APAC, UK, and US makes it the right partner for NZ businesses with international ambitions. Fractional gives you senior strategy plus execution, with every asset owned by you.
How quickly can a New Zealand business get started?
The 18-Day Launch Stack takes you from first call to a live marketing system in 18 days: Audit, Strategy, Build, Launch, Measure, Compound. Most agencies are still onboarding at that point. It starts with a free audit delivered within 24 hours.
Do I own the marketing assets and is it remote?
Yes. You own every asset created, success metrics are set in writing before month one, and the engagement is fully remote, serving New Zealand and surrounding markets.
