Business growth
solutions that fit you
Not every business starts from the same place. Some need a full marketing function. Some already have one and need specialist support to back it up. Some simply need to show up in more places, more consistently. Vanguard86 works across all three.

You need a marketing team, not a marketing hire.

Building a marketing function from scratch is a significant investment. Bringing someone on full-time means salary, training, tools, and time before a single result. Our managed marketing programmes give you a dedicated team of specialists, consistent monthly delivery, and measurable outcomes without the overhead.

Digital marketing services built for growth
At Vanguard 86, we help businesses in New Zealand and Australia unlock measurable growth through a full-spectrum suite of digital marketing services. Whether you're launching your first structured marketing programme or scaling an established strategy, we tailor our services to your unique goals, industry and buyer journey, delivering consistency and commercial impact.
Digital Marketing Management
360° digital marketing programmes for every industry
Our marketing management service is the most popular and successful service that we offer. These programmes deliver scalable and repeatable monthly marketing designed to grow your business.
These three programmes work because they offer businesses a safe monthly programme that's delivered consistently, without investing in a full internal marketing team.
Marketing Strategy
Experienced marketing professional developing your strategic direction
Sometimes your business needs a fresh perspective to challenge existing thinking and beliefs. Or you may simply need fresh ideas from other industries to stay ahead in yours.
Our Marketing strategy services range from a one-off Strategy Workshop to ongoing support and direction.
Marketing Coaching
Designed to align marketing teams with the modern buyer
Modern customers are more educated and informed about their purchasing options than ever before. They know about you, your competitors and what they're going to buy before they even reach out to your sales team.
How does a marketing team adapt to this buyer? Our marketing coaching programme explores the journey a customer goes on before reaching out to you, how your marketing approach needs to adapt, and the tools at your disposal to enable a change in conversation.
Search Engine Optimisation
A proven programme for increased Google visibility
Our Search Engine Optimisation service is broken down into two parts, SEO audit and SEO programme.
The audit focuses on giving marketing professionals and business leaders intelligence on the current ranking, competitive landscape, and business potential in a given business category. This gives you the insights you need to make strategic business decisions.
The SEO programme focuses on increasing your rank for a fixed monthly fee.
Answer Engine Optimisation
Increase your visibility on ChatGPT
Our Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) service optimises your content strategy and technical implementation to increase your visibility on popular Large Language Models (LLMs).
With more and more users relying on platforms like ChatGPT to find services, answer questions, and assess their options, your business must be part of that conversation.
Our AEO service increases business visibility for common questions on AI models, and works to include you in the conversation.
Website Design & Build
Give your website the facelift it deserves
As specialists in the HubSpot CMS we can design and build a website that's focused on converting the visitors you receive.
Many agencies build beautiful websites (including us, see some examples here), but neglect conversion rate optimisation. A website that looks good but doesn't attract traffic, or attracts traffic that can't convert to leads, isn't an asset - it's a liability.
We build websites that become a growth driver for your business.
Google Ads Management
Paid media management on the Google platform
We all want instant results from marketing. And while SEO, AEO, and even lead nurturing are great long-term growth drivers, paid media gives an instant result.
Google Ads ensures you appear in Google searches instantly, so you can bring more traffic to your site and begin to convert them into leads.
The budget you set goes directly to Google, with a management fee added. Discover the inclusions and fees by visiting our dedicate Google Ads Management page.
HubSpot Setup & Support
Get your HubSpot account business-ready
While HubSpot offers its own guided onboarding, not every business has the time to complete this process in-house. That's why we're here to do the legwork for you.
From responsive and flexible email marketing templates to on-brand landing pages, we'll do all the work so you can make the most of your HubSpot platform as quickly as possible.
Most importantly, we'll gather, format, and upload your existing database into your new CRM.
