Services

At Southern Projects, I don’t just "do social media" or "run ads." I provide a full-spectrum marketing service designed specifically to help local businesses get seen, trusted, and booked.

No "gold, silver, and bronze" packages designed to pad my margins either. I work within your specific budget to build a custom plan focused on one thing: a profitable outcome.

If a channel won't move the needle for your specific trade, I won’t let you spend a cent on it.​

01

Strategic Digital Marketing

Digital advertising drives bookings fast and at a low cost.

 

Whether it’s making sure you appear at the top of Google when a customer is searching for your service, or targeting specific local demographics on Facebook, I manage the end-to-end process to ensure your ad spend actually converts into new customers.

 

It's bread & butter for service business wanting to get in front of high-intent potential customers.

02

Social Media Management

Social media is the new storefront.

 

Yours will stay active and credible, building instant trust for people in need of your service looking to make the call.

 

I handle the strategy, content, and management of your platforms so you stay top-of-mind without having to spend your evenings thinking of what to post.

Traditional Media Buying

Wanting to push your business to be an established local name? Tried & true advertising channels still have serious pulling power when done right.

 

I use my agency experience to plan and buy effective local radio, outdoor billboards, and print media - ensuring your offline presence works just as hard as your online one.

04

Free Advertising Audits

Already running ads?

 

Have your advertising formally reviewed and critiqued for free, giving you a look into what’s working, what’s missing, and how to level things up.

 

I provide deep-dive audits of your current setup and build custom roadmaps that tell you exactly where to invest your next dollar for the best return.

Southern Projects is a local one-man band.

​Southern Projects is a Wellington-based, one-person operation run by me, Lockie.

Since gaining valuable senior-level experience at Wellington's largest independent agency, I've taken the step to go out on my own and build a business that's hands on, and ensures businesses see a real return on their marketing investment.

 

Ultimately, my goal with Southern Projects is to build long lasting relationships and deliver marketing results that both of us can be genuinely proud of.
