Digital Marketing · Brisbane, Australia
Digital marketing that helps Brisbane businesses stand out.
Brisbane is one of Australia’s biggest and most competitive markets, which means standing out online matters more here than just about anywhere. I help local businesses cut through it, getting found online and chosen over the rest, with web, SEO, ads and AI search, all done by the person you talk to.

What does digital marketing for Brisbane businesses do?

EightySix Digital is a New Zealand digital marketing agency that works with businesses across Australia and New Zealand, helping them get found online and win more work in busy markets. One person, the whole growth engine, no big-agency runaround.
- Standing out matters more here. In a competitive city, showing up first is worth a lot.
- One of the most competitive markets. You’re competing in one of Australia’s most crowded markets, where getting found first is the whole game.
- A real person, not an agency. Plain English, and the person you talk to does the work.
Working with Brisbane businesses
A real person, focused on getting you seen.
I’m Stu, a New Zealand-based digital marketer. I work with businesses across New Zealand and Australia, getting them found online and winning more work in markets where standing out is half the battle. With 15+ years in the trades and over a decade running my own business behind me, I get what small local businesses need.
I’m not based in Brisbane, but everything runs online, so distance is no barrier. You deal with someone who actually does the work himself, not a faceless agency or an account manager reading from a script.
Brisbane is Australia's third-largest city and the fast-growing capital of Queensland, with a strong construction and trades sector, a booming property market and major infrastructure investment ahead of the 2032 Olympics. Rapid population growth from the inner city to the outer north and south means rising demand, and rising local competition. Getting found here comes down to clear local relevance and a Google Business Profile that puts you in front of a growing base of nearby customers.

Is Brisbane a competitive market for digital marketing?
Yes. Brisbane is one of Australia’s largest cities, so the same local searches are fiercely contested and standing out is worth a lot. That makes showing up first, with a fast site and sharp local SEO and ads, more valuable here than in a quieter town.
Are you based in Brisbane?
EightySix Digital is a New Zealand agency run by Stu Clark. I’m not based in Brisbane, but I work with businesses across Australia and New Zealand and everything runs online, so distance is no barrier. You get someone who does the work himself, not an account manager reading from a script.
Which Brisbane areas do you cover?
All of Brisbane and across Queensland, including the CBD, Fortitude Valley, New Farm, Paddington, Chermside, South Brisbane, Mount Gravatt and Indooroopilly, out to Ipswich, Logan and the Redlands.
Should I use SEO or Google Ads for my Brisbane business?
Both work well together. Google Ads gets you to the top of Google in Brisbane today, ahead of the pack, while SEO builds local rankings that bring steady leads over time without paying per click.
