Head of Operations & DeliveryQueenstown, New Zealand
Ben runs delivery at Kia Ora Digital, making sure every SEO, paid search and AI search engagement is scoped properly, staffed properly and measured against revenue rather than vanity metrics. He works across the NZ, Australian, UK and US teams from Queenstown.
Ben co-founded Kia Ora Digital and has built it into an agency that works with more than 300 brands across New Zealand, Australia, the UK and the US.
He is a serial founder who owns and operates businesses outside the agency, and he advises early-stage companies. That is the difference clients tend to notice on a first call: he has sat on their side of the table, carrying payroll and cash flow and the cost of a decision that does not work, so he reads a growth plan as an owner and not only as a marketer.
