We get it.

Marketing shouldn't feel this hard.

You've tried agencies. You've tried doing it yourself. You've tried courses. And you're still stuck wondering where your money's going. You're not alone — this is exactly why we started Hedgehog.

The agency black hole

You're paying thousands a month to an agency that owns your accounts, sends you reports you can't interpret, and gets defensive when you ask questions.

The DIY overwhelm

You've watched the YouTube videos and stared at Google Ads for hours. But everything you learned was generic theory — not built for your business.

The knowledge gap

You know marketing matters but you can't tell good advice from bad. You just want someone honest to tell you what actually works.

That's where we come in.

We sit down with you, in your accounts, and teach you how to run your own marketing properly. No jargon. No upselling. Just honest, practical help from people who genuinely want you to succeed.

The Humans Behind the Hedgehog

You'll work directly with us. Not a junior. Not a contractor.

We're a small team on purpose. It means you get our full attention, our best thinking, and someone who actually remembers your business from one session to the next.

Josh Berg

Josh Berg

Founder & Head of Strategy

15+ years in digital marketing. Started at Google. Has helped over 1,000 businesses take control of their marketing. Honest, direct, and genuinely wants you to succeed.

Teddi Russell

Teddi Russell

Head of Implementation & Training

Deep experience across email, data tracking, and analytics. Previously at McPherson's Consumer Products. Self-proclaimed data nerd who makes numbers make sense.

Two humans who actually give a damn. Plus an AI sidekick named Hilda who makes everything better — you'll meet her next.

And now, our AI sidekick

Meet Hilda. 15cm tall. Unreasonably good at marketing.

Josh and Teddi do the thinking, strategy, and training. Hilda handles the watching, reporting, and optimising in the background — so you get the best of humans and AI. She gives you the straight answer, and then fixes half of it for you before you've finished your coffee.

Hilda

Connected to your business context and live analytics

Hilda knows as much about your business as we do. She's not generic advice — she's contextual. Your goals, your customers, your history, all baked in.

Connected to your analytics and ad accounts

She doesn't give theoretical direction — she knows exactly how your accounts are performing, can pull optimisation levers, and even set up new campaigns for you.

She prepares you for every task

Anything you're working on with us comes with custom preparation from Hilda. Background research, thinking frameworks, project plans. You'll never know how you worked without her.

Spots anomalies for you

No more worrying about wasted spend on the wrong keywords, campaigns, or ads. Hilda spots anomalies as soon as they pop up and asks you for permission to take action.

You're always in control. Hilda never makes changes automatically. She analyses, flags, and recommends — you decide what happens next. Your data stays secure and you keep full ownership of every account.

Included  with all Support and Consulting packages. Because Hilda insisted.

FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from hiring an agency?

Agencies run your marketing for you and create dependency. With Hedgehog, you gain the skills to run your own marketing. You own your accounts, understand your data, and make informed decisions without being locked into a retainer.

How is this different from an online course?

Online courses teach generic theory. Your training is built specifically for your business, delivered one-on-one by a senior marketer, inside your own accounts.

What if I don't know which channel to start with?

Start with a Strategy ($2,000 + GST). You'll get a clear recommendation on which channels to pursue. Then move into training — and save $1,000 on your first channel.

What if I don't have time to manage my own marketing after training?

It's genuinely not as hard as agencies want you to think. Once you understand your channels, it's a few hours a week — and Hilda AI handles monitoring, reporting, and optimisation. Our Support Program means you always have a senior marketer to call.

Who actually delivers the training?

Josh or Teddi — senior Hedgehog team members with deep platform expertise. No juniors, no outsourced contractors.

Where are you based?

We're an Australian business. Everything is delivered via video call, so we work with clients across Australia and internationally.

This sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?

No catch, genuinely. We're a small team (two humans and a hedgehog). We're not going to upsell you, lock you into a contract, or make you dependent on us. Our whole business model is built on teaching you to do it yourself. The "catch" is that we can only take on 3 new clients a month because we give everyone our full attention. That's it.

What are you NOT?

We're not an agency — we don't run your marketing for you. We're not a course — we don't give you generic videos and wish you luck. And we're not going to pretend we're a big company with "account managers" and "client success teams." It's Josh and Teddi. That's the team. And honestly, that's the point.

What does Hilda AI have access to — and does she make changes without my approval?

No, Hilda never changes anything automatically. She analyses your campaigns, flags issues, and recommends actions — but every change goes through you for approval first. You give her read-only access to the platforms you want her to monitor (Google Ads, Meta, GA4, Search Console, etc.), and she watches for anomalies and opportunities. When she spots something, she sends you a clear list of recommendations. You approve — she executes. Or you skip — no harm done. Your data stays inside your accounts. You keep full ownership and control.
