MANAGING DIRECTOR
Marcus founded the company in 2021 - from a belief that social media could revolutionise brands. He’s built the business from a one-person operation to a fully-fledged agency working with some of NZ’s most talented creators and brands. He still actively manages key accounts and new strategy consultations while building the Sapiens team and business. He’s also got a great head of hair.
BRAND ACCOUNT MANAGER
Sapwe is the engine room for our brand department - responsible for achieving our clients’ goals, coordinating our team of creatives , and always being across performance. Reliable, structured, and always across the detail, she’s a videographer and content creator by trade, and has grown from a part time hire to a key team member at Sapiens.
MEDIA ACCOUNT MANAGER
Mitch is our resident editorial expert - and manages our growing suite of media clients. He joined us after working as the Head of Social and Search at the NZ Herald for close to a decade - and he combines platform expertise with a journalist's nose for what makes a story worth telling.

With an incredible background in film, television and advertising, Felix brings a dynamic editing style and a keen sense of rhythm to the team, turning concepts into scroll-stopping video content - and taking our ideas into execution on videography and content shoots with clients, across different industries.
We do not do everything. We do audience growth for podcasts, personalities, and brands — and we do it better than anyone in New Zealand.
Our roots are in storytelling and media. We understand what makes content resonate, what makes audiences stay, and what makes stories worth telling in the first place.
We do not just read platform updates. We live inside the algorithms, the trends, and the audience behaviours that drive real growth. When the platforms shift, we are already moving.
