About us

We're Not Your Typical Digital Agency.

Media Giant was built on a simple belief: NZ businesses deserve better digital marketing. Faster, smarter, and more transparent than anything the traditional agency model offers.

The founders

Two people who answer their own phones.

Ten years and 200+ NZ businesses in, Media Giant is still run by the two people who started it. AI does the heavy lifting; Andy and Ryan make it yours.

Andy Barker

Co-founder

Andy leads strategy and client relationships. He's spent ten years building websites and campaigns for NZ businesses, and he's the one you'll talk to on your first call. If it doesn't grow your business, Andy won't sell it to you.

Ryan Marston

Co-founder

Ryan leads the build side: websites, AI systems and the reporting platform. He's obsessive about PageSpeed scores and allergic to jargon. If your site isn't in the high 90s, Ryan considers it unfinished.

Milestones

Ten years of getting faster.

2016

Founded in Wellington

Andy and Ryan start Media Giant with one rule: no jargon, no lock-ins, no surprises.

2020

100th NZ business

The client base doubles on referrals alone. The free-photoshoot policy starts here: no stock photos, ever.

2024

The AI growth engine

AI-managed Google Ads, automated blogging and the reporting dashboard launch. Build times drop from months to days.

2026

200+ businesses strong

Google Partner status, millions in ad spend managed, and websites that score in the high 90s as standard.

How we work

The Media Giant philosophy.

01

AI + human, always

AI does the heavy lifting: building, bidding, writing at speed. Our team makes it yours: reviewed, refined and never shipped raw. We'll never sell you AI alone.

02

Numbers over adjectives

Live in days. High 90s on PageSpeed. 25+ links a month. If we can't put a number on it, we won't put it in a proposal.

03

Transparent by default

You get a real-time dashboard, not a quarterly PDF. You always know what your budget is doing and what is working. No chasing your agency for updates.

Let's Build Something Together.
