About Known Digital

We’re not just marketers - we’re business owners, too. Known Digital was founded by Simon and Joel, two entrepreneurs who’ve spent years building and scaling real businesses in New Zealand

We know the pressure of needing more leads, the frustration of wasted ad spend, and the overwhelm that comes with trying to do it all. That’s why we built something different.

Known Digital helps New Zealand service providers turn their websites into lead-generating machines — with done-for-you marketing systems that deliver steady, high-quality enquiries (without all the tech headaches).

We help local service businesses that are great at what they do — but struggle to stay fully booked without constantly chasing leads.

Whether you run a mechanic shop, kids’ party business, dog grooming service, cleaning company, or anything in between — if you offer a service locally, we help you get found and grow.
