Small businesses in Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay often face a common challenge: the need for effective marketing but a lack of clarity on where to even begin. This can lead to frustration, wasted time, and a lack of confidence in their marketing efforts.
To address this, Waimata Creative has launched “Idea Soup,” a unique and affordable service designed to jumpstart the marketing journey for local businesses. For just NZ$300 (excluding GST), Idea Soup offers a tailored approach that blends creativity with practical advice.
What is Idea Soup?
Idea Soup begins with an introductory meeting – either face-to-face or online – between the client and Torri Stewart from Waimata Creative. This relaxed and informative session allows business owners to:
- Share their business goals and challenges: Discuss their aspirations, target audience, and any existing marketing efforts.
- Explore marketing possibilities: Uncover a range of creative and strategic approaches that could work for their specific business.
- Gain valuable insights: Benefit from the expertise of someone with a diverse background in marketing communications, strategy, planning, brand management, and website development.

- Target audience definition: Refining their understanding of their ideal customer.
