The Sunny Coasts leading digital marketing agency that delivers more leads
Hi, I'm Ben Hirons
Over the last 17 years in business, I’ve employed (and sacked) around 15 sales and marketing agencies and consultants because they never delivered on their promise. Knowing I could do better, I formed my own Digital Marketing Agency on the Sunshine Coast, Due North.
When you work with us, you deal directly with our digital marketing superstars who have over 15 years’ experience in the field and have added insight from owning their own businesses. With diverse backgrounds, we can provide broad digital marketing expertise across a range of disciplines, and are capable of providing strategic advice and execution. It’s a model we’re really proud of and it’s produced incredible results.
We’re confident that our model can get you the sales results that you want. What’s more, it allows you to start with just a service or two and then expand to a whole range of services (where we can become your entire team) as your business grows and evolves.

Digital Marketing Agency FAQs
If your customers use the Internet (and of course they do) then your company needs a digital marketing strategy! Digital marketing is incredibly effective at a local level. No doubt you've searched for a café or restaurant in Noosa and looked at the menu and online reviews to make a decision. For you, it was about finding a good place to eat. But for them, it was about gaining or losing a customer! Similarly, thousands of Sunny Coasters are searching online to find products and services they need and want. If you're not there, how can they find you?
It's a great question and it can really depend, like the answer to 'how much does a car cost?' To establish how much it will cost, we look at what you want to achieve (off road on Fraser Island or Lakeside Park Raceway), your available budget (a 1 man show or a family of ten) and how much competition is in your industry (are you racing a Ferrari or a Kombi Van). But to give you an idea, we are growing many businesses that have a digital marketing budget of $1k to over $10k a month. While the Sunshine Coast is still relatively small compared to Melbourne and Sydney, cheap marketing solutions won't set you in good stead for the future, so we recommend choosing a digital marketing partner who has a proven track record and does quality work - us!
Half of our Due North team live in South-East Queensland, so we intimately know the Queensland business landscape. We have a long-term partnership approach and a senior team who produce quality work within a proven framework So, if you want to see your business grow, ask us about how we are getting an average of 34% year-on-year revenue growth for our clients.
The fundamental objective of any kind of marketing is build curiosity and demand around your products and services. Digital marketing has the same objective but online. When your digital marketing is done right, (assuming that your Sunshine Coast business is delivering great products and services), you'll see a steady increase to the number of potential customers contacting your business. Our fundamental goal is to see all of our clients achieve 25% sustainable growth year-on-year.
There is no denying that COVID-19 has presented big challenges to businesses worldwide. Some businesses have experienced a sudden increase in demand and have needed to rapidly scale with robust digital systems to cope. Others, however, have suddenly realised that their business must pivot to include a digital presence. Improving marketing during these difficult times involves ensuring your strategy is aligned with the current market, and that it's as effective as possible. Have a read of this article to see how your digital marketing strategy compares to best practice.
Definitely! We have several informative posts on where to start with digital marketing that make sure you understand the fundamentals. However, a successful business owner also know when to delegate to specialists, so they can get on with what they do best. When there are no designated resources to manage your digital marketing, it's easy for marketing to fall by the wayside when things get busy. If you want a partnership with a quality focused digital marketing agency will benefit your business, we're just a phone call away!
When running an eCommerce site you need to implement all of the digital marketing strategies to attract customers to your website (SEO and SEM) and once there, you need to ensure you have an easy to navigate website, your products are well presented, your content is engaging and you blow your customers' socks off with great service. Be interactive by using multimedia such as videos, and of course, social media channels. The user experience and journey needs to be simple and obvious, so interact with the customer by having wish lists, sales, and reviews, and ensure the check-out process has multiple shipping options and as few steps as possible before making the transaction.
The main principle of digital marketing (and marketing in general) is to truly understand your customer and their needs and put them first. This means all of your promotional material (especially your website) and channels need to address the challenges, needs and desires of your customers and connect with them on an emotional level to really stand out. Then it is a matter of being consistent. You need to keep doing, learning and improving!
