Who we are

The marketing department
you didn't have to hire.

Most agencies wait for you to tell them what to do. We were built the other way around, and everything else about how we work follows from that.

Recognised & certified

Founded in 2014.
Still run by the people who founded it.

Marketing Together started on the Gold Coast in 2014. We work with small and medium businesses across Australia and New Zealand, in industries ranging from medical and trades to eCommerce, professional services and hospitality.

Certified Google Ads Partner

Google Ads Partner status requires meeting Google's performance standards, ad spend thresholds, and ongoing certification. Our paid search specialists hold current certifications across Search, Shopping, Display, and Performance Max.

Certified Shopify Partner

As a Shopify Partner, we build, optimise, and market Shopify stores to a standard vetted by Shopify directly, with access to partner resources, priority support, and platform features general web agencies don't have.

Since 2014

Every business is unique.
That's why we do things differently.

Marketing Together was founded in 2014 by Chris Sharples on the Gold Coast. The idea was straightforward: build a team of genuine specialists, not generalists who manage every channel with equal mediocrity and give Australian small and medium businesses access to the kind of marketing expertise previously reserved for large companies with large agency budgets.
Twelve years later, we have more than 30 staff across our Gold Coast offices and an extended team of creatives and developers worldwide. Every client still works directly with a specialist. Every campaign is still managed in-house. The brief hasn't changed.
At our core, we're all about building strong, lasting partnerships with our clients, not just business transactions.
We truly believe our success comes from yours. As you grow and reach new heights, we're right there with you, excited to help you explore new markets, connect with new customers, and strengthen your online presence.
That's why we steer clear of quick fixes and flashy numbers that don't tell the whole story. We're in it for the long haul, focusing on what really matters, your business's heart and soul.
We tailor our strategies to fit your unique brand and goals, so we're not just confident in the path forward, but genuinely enthusiastic about the journey we're on together.

How we work

Four things that make us different to work with.

Most agencies are structured to receive instructions and execute them. It's an efficient model for the agency and a frustrating one for the client, because it means the marketing only moves as fast as the client's attention allows. We built ours to remove that dependency.

We move first.

You shouldn't have to know exactly what you need before you talk to us.

Tell us where the business is and where you want it to go, and we'll come back with the plan, not a list of questions.

We work inside your business.

We're not a vendor you brief and chase.

We attend your meetings, understand your operations, and act like part of the team rather than an outside supplier.

You talk to the people doing the work.

Most agencies give you one account manager and everything gets relayed.

Here you talk directly to the specialist running your campaign.

We're measured the way you are.

Activity is easy to report on. Impressions and clicks are not the same as revenue.

We hold ourselves to the numbers that actually matter to your business.

The people

Specialists, in-house, in Australia.

Every channel here is led by someone who does only that. Your paid ads aren't managed by the person handling your social content, and your SEO specialist isn't moonlighting as a designer. Most of the team have been doing this for a decade.
Everyone is employed directly by Marketing Together and based in Australia. We hire for expertise rather than volume, which is why the team is smaller than some agencies our size and why you can get any of them on the phone.

We have been really happy with the service and support we received from Marketing Together.

From the beginning, they were easy to work with, listened to what we wanted, and helped bring our ideas to life. They took the time to understand our practice and created a website that looks professional, is easy for our patients to use, and reflects who we are as a clinic.

The communication has been great, and they have always been helpful and quick to respond to any questions or changes along the way.

We are really pleased with the finished website and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable, and professional website team.

I wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you to Dayna and the entire team for creating my beautiful new website!
From the very beginning, Dayna was an absolute pleasure to work with! She truly understood my vision, my brand and the feeling I wanted the website to create! What impressed me most was how quickly she "got it!" I'm someone who is very particular and usually knows exactly what I want, which has often meant a lot of back-and-forth with designers in the past! Dayna was the first person who nailed the vision almost immediately! She understood the colours, layout, style and overall vibe perfectly!
Not only is Dayna incredibly talented and creative, but she also brings so many thoughtful ideas to the table!She went above and beyond throughout the entire process, offering suggestions and improvements that elevated the website beyond what I had originally imagined! Her knowledge of modern website design, user experience, AI tools, imagery and current trends is outstanding and it shows in the final result!!
My website itself is not a simple project either. It includes multiple services, an online shop, educational content and many parts! Despite the complexity, the entire process felt smooth, organised and well managed!
A special thank you to Simon for always being there to assist, answer questions and oversee the project from start to finish! Your support, professionalism and attention to detail made the whole experience so much easier and I truly appreciate everything you've done!
And thank you to Jess for bringing the website to life and turning the vision into reality! Your work behind the scenes has been incredible and the finished product is a reflection of the care and expertise you've put into it!
I couldn't be happier with how the website has come together! It feels modern, professional, beautiful and most importantly, it feels like me and my brand!!
If you're looking for a team that genuinely listens, understands your vision and creates a website that exceeds expectations, I highly recommend Dayna and the team! They are talented, creative, professional and an absolute joy to work with!
Thank you all so much for helping bring this project to life! I am beyond grateful and absolutely love the final result!! 💫

We hired Marketing Together to build our clinic’s website ( Beach Road Medical Centre) and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The design they delivered is professional, clean, and exactly what we envisioned for our practice.

What really stood out was how easy they were to communicate with throughout the entire process — always responsive and attentive to our needs. Anytime we requested a change or fix, they handled it promptly without any hassle.

If you’re a medical practice looking for a team that truly listens and delivers, look no further than Marketing Together. Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of working with the team at Marketing Together to build a brand and website from scratch. Mark, Jess, Niina, and Hayden handled many urgent requests and a constantly shifting brief, yet still delivered a fantastic brand and website that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend their services and encourage anyone working with them to communicate openly throughout the process—they are extremely flexible and always willing to accommodate changes. Great work team.

Simon and the team at Marketing Together have produced two websites for me recently, one for a new tax consultancy start-up Tax Navigate and one for the Gold Coast Sporting Hall of Fame. They have been exceptional to deal with throughout. Not only did they pick up the briefs quickly, but their creative work, attention to detail and ease of working have been outstanding. The final results look superb and have been very well received by stakeholders and clients. I would highly recommend them.
