Before they arrive.

Most visitors decide
before they land.

1.5 million visitors come through Wānaka every year. Most of them decided where to eat, stay, and spend before they arrived.

They chose based on what they had already seen in their feed, in their search results, in the ads that reached them at home. Not what they walked past when they got here.

The businesses that win are the ones that showed up during the planning window. Before the booking. Before the flight. Before the drive from Queenstown Airport. That is where INFLUX. operates.

If your marketing only runs in Wānaka, you are already too late. The decision was made in Sydney six weeks ago.

Visitor arriving in Wānaka
— or a local business moment

Three steps.
One result.

01

We find where your visitors come from

We research your feeder markets, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, and build audience profiles around real travel intent and behaviour.

02

We build campaigns that reach them there

Geo-targeted ads that land in their feed during the planning window. Two to eight weeks before they arrive, when decisions are still being made.

03

They arrive already knowing your name

By the time they land in Wānaka, your business is familiar. The decision is made before the plane touches down.

Built for the businesses
foot traffic forgets.

If visitors only find you after they arrive, you are marketing to the wrong window.

01

Restaurants & cafes

Set back from the lake. Not on the walk-past strip. The ones visitors have to specifically choose before they arrive.

02

Accommodation

Not on the Booking.com front page. Independently owned. Needs direct bookings, not just OTA overflow.

03

Experiences & activities

Visitors book these before they land. If you are not in their feed during the planning window, you are not in their itinerary.

04

Breweries & taprooms

Destination visits. People drive specifically to come to you. They need to know you exist before they arrive in Wānaka.

05

Boutique retail

Visitor-dependent, independently owned. The kind of shop people go out of their way for when they have already heard of it.

06

Day spas & wellness

Booked in advance. Premium price point. The visitors who spend the most plan the most, and they are choosing while still at home.

If more than half your revenue comes from visitors and you are independently owned, you almost certainly do.

Not social media management. Not boosted posts. Not an Auckland agency advising on a town they have never visited. Geo-targeted feeder market advertising is a specific product with a specific mechanism, reaching people in the cities they fly from, during the weeks they are still deciding. Most NZ agencies do not offer it.

The ads. The website.
The video.

Geo-targeted advertising for tourism and local businesses, custom websites for Wānaka operators, and real estate video for agents. All three, done properly.

Wānaka — on location · behind the scenes of a local shoot
01

Local, we live here

Most digital agencies talk about local marketing from a city office. We know the town, the seasons, and which feeder cities send which visitors.

02

Specialist, we know the calendar

February traffic behaves differently to July skiers. The planning window for winter starts in March. We build campaigns that match the actual Wānaka visitor cycle.

03

Focused, small roster, full focus

We work with a small number of businesses at a time. That is intentional. You get focus, not a shared inbox with 200 other clients.

What people ask
before they call.

No. A boosted post is shown to people who are already in or near Wānaka, people who might already walk past you. Geo-targeted feeder market ads reach people in Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland who are actively planning a Wānaka trip. Different audience, different platform setup, completely different outcome.
First campaign goes live within 2 weeks of signing. We handle the full setup, Meta Business Manager access, pixel installation, audience build, creative approval. You sign off on the campaign before anything goes live.
Ad spend is billed directly to you by Meta. It never passes through us. You set the daily limit and can see exactly where every dollar goes inside your Meta account. We will recommend a budget that matches your package and goals on the discovery call.
Yes, that is what CREATE is for. We shoot once a month, produce 6–10 platform-ready assets, and run the campaign with fresh creative every cycle. You own everything we produce. Most clients start on CREATE for exactly this reason.
Geo-targeting campaigns need time to optimise. The first two weeks are setup and learning. Weeks three to eight are performance improvement as Meta's algorithm finds your best audience. Weeks nine to twelve are when results compound and cost-per-click drops. A 90-day commitment is the minimum to fairly judge whether a campaign is actually working, for both of us.
Not necessarily, some campaigns drive directly to Instagram or a booking platform. But a proper website converts significantly better. If you are running ads and sending people to a three-year-old site with bad photos, you are leaving money on the table. That is why we offer both services, and why the same photography shoot covers both.
