About Us
Young & Shand is a digital marketing agency that takes a word of mouth approach and leverages digital assets to deliver remarkable results. Our purpose is to help our clients spread their stories and grow in a more natural, viral way.
Our focus is to help businesses grow through online marketing and digital engagement. A typical project involves an initial strategy phase to understand the most effective way forward, then we build the required digital assets (website, blog, facebook fan page, ecommerce site, attraction network). Finally we plan out an ongoing internet marketing plan to drive traffic, prospects and business for our clients.
Ben Young and Duncan Shand established Young&Shand in 2009 after working with each other on a number of significant client projects. We’re passionate about helping New Zealand companies grow to the next level. We will even guarantee to grow web traffic and sales for any client we work with.
