About Hedgehog Marketing

We're a different breed of agency. Actually, we're a different species entirely.

Founded in Melbourne, 2016. Operating across Australia and the UK.

Our Story

Marketing veterans who got tired of agency fluff.

We're not here to do the work and disappear. We roll in, skill up your team, and help you build a marketing machine that runs like clockwork.

Most agencies are built on a simple model: create dependency. The more confused you are, the longer you stay. We thought that was rubbish, so we built something different.

We believe in teaching everything we know. Yes, everything. Every strategy, every optimisation trick, every shortcut we've learned over 15+ years in digital marketing. Because when you understand your own marketing, you make better decisions, spend less, and grow faster.

Our goal isn't to keep you as a client forever. It's to make you so good at marketing that you only call us when you want to, not because you have to.

What Makes Us Different

Three ways to do marketing. Only one builds capability.

Here's how we stack up against the two most common alternatives.

Approach Traditional Agency Hedgehog DIY / Self-Taught
Model Done for you Done with you Done alone
Cost Expensive retainers One-off investment Free (but costs time)
Strategy Cookie cutter Bespoke strategy All theory, no plan
Implementation Hidden motives Customised to your business Bad habits
Flexibility Rigid contracts Learn in your own accounts Boring and isolating
Support Only while you pay Holistic, ongoing option No support at all
Our Process

Five steps to marketing independence.

A clear, repeatable process that takes you from confused to confident.

1

Align

We get on the same page. Your goals, your market, your budget, your reality. No assumptions.

2

Audit

A deep dive into what you've got. Accounts, analytics, competitors, and opportunities.

3

Strategy

A clear plan that tells you exactly which channels to invest in, and in what order.

4

Set Up

Your accounts get built (or rebuilt) properly. Campaigns, tracking, reporting — done right.

5

Train

Hands-on sessions in your own accounts until you can run everything with confidence.

The Team

Small team. Big experience.

We keep the team lean on purpose. You always work with a senior marketer, never a junior account manager reading from a script.
