WEB DESIGN AND e-COMMERCE

Every business can benefit from a beautiful, functional website that people can search, browse and engage with. If your business can include an e-commerce strand your website can become a source of revenue, specially when COVID affects our ability to come together.

I will work with you to create an online platform tailored to the needs of your business a and empower you to run it smoothly and independently. Bring it on, world!

SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY

These days, social media is more than likes and followers. It can become the pathway to connect people with your business. How do you convert followers into clients that love your brand? How do you streamline your social media presence with your other face-to-face and online marketing strategies? I can help you set up a social media strategy that does not use much of your time, but can boost your brand and business.

BRAND DESIGN

Branding design helps your audience recognize your company, products, and content. With so many products and businesses competing for the attention and the business of your audience, you want to be recognised to stand out. We will create your brand together. You know who you are, I will help you show the world!

Hi, I’m Julia Martino, a qualified librarian turned social media manager. Originally from the beautiful town of Oamaru, I’m now based in Auckland after a wonderful six years in my favourite city, Wellington. Over the last 12 years, I’ve overseen social media for public libraries, non-profits/charities and NGO’s and local Civil Defence. I’ve also run workshops on social media for local businesses and spoken at conferences about the power of social media.

My services include:

• monthly management packages
• 1:1 coaching
• social media audits

I started Verve Social Media Management because I know the importance of a great online presence. I want to help you utilise the power of social media to grow your business, build relationships with customers and feel comfortable leveraging the incredible opportunities social media presents.

When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring Auckland with my husband, Face-timing my niece and nephews, and reading (a given as a former librarian!).

Hi, I’m Ezra. I specialise in branding, web design and packaging. I help elevate conscious brands (kind people doing good things for the planet) throughout New Zealand and beyond.

With 10 years + experience, my process is both intuitive and strategic. I strongly believe ‘less is more’ when it comes to brand design and I pride myself on my minimal and contemporary style.

I’m an outgoing introvert with a fire in my belly for social change, an empath with a keen interest in psychology and human connection, and a visual thinker – most content in the company of my creativity. My commitment to brand design roots from these interests.

Qualification – Bachelor’s degree in Media Arts, major Graphic Design. (Waikato Institute of Technology) 2012
