We’re passionate about growing brands. From Lululemon and Puma to Make-A-Wish and OzHarvest, we’ve scaled hundreds, and we’re rated Australia’s top agency as a result.
We provide realistic expectations, focus on transparency and help you stand out. It’s why we’ve been awarded for Australia’s best customer service for four consecutive years."

I’ve had average experiences with agencies in the past. How is Megaphone different?
You deserve a team that never settles for second-best. We’re always hungry to learn, improve and deliver you the best possible outcome. We dedicate time every week to innovation and learning, to make sure that you’re always getting top-of-the-line service and unwavering proactivity.
We will always be 100% honest with you. If we’re not a good fit, we’ll tell you from the start.
Peter Asimakopoulos, founder of NPA Events had a similar concern, having been burnt by agencies in the past. “I’ve been with a lot of agencies before where they haven’t really understood what we’re selling, what we’re doing, or anything like that. I feel like with my account manager, Stephen, and the rest of the Megaphone team, they really understand our target market and what we wanted to go after. Straight off the bat there was a lot more care and they were more invested in the business. Not just the marketing, but in general, what we’re trying to do.” Watch the full testimonial here.
We don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk. We grew our own eCommerce brand, Silvi (rebranded to Argie) to $2 million in revenue in just 7 months.
What is the Megaphone onboarding process? How long does it take?
Once you decide that you’re ready to take your brand to the next level, you can expect a simple, easy process.
Step 1: Fill out your details (scroll to the top of this page)
Step 2: We arrange a free strategy call to learn more about your business and your goals, and see if we’d be a good fit.
Step 3: We’ll present a robust strategy based on your goals, that can help you grow your brand, get more sales or leads, and help you continue on your path to industry domination.
Step 4: After officially becoming a Megaphone partner, you’ll meet the team who will be on your account every day – data expert, creative expert, strategy lead, Google experts, and more.
And that’s it! All you have to do is fill out your details, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you guarantee me a high return on ad spend?
We could tell you about the client who got a 50 ROAS, or the skincare client we got stocked in Mecca. But those are anomalies. We can’t do that for every business.
What we can guarantee is that we’ll have an entire team of 4+ people checking your account every day. We can guarantee that you get a tailored strategy that helps you achieve your individual goals – there’s no such thing as a cookie-cutter approach.
And we can guarantee that we will always be proactive, transparent and honest – it’s in our DNA.
While we could provide a guarantee of ROAS or MER, we prefer not to. Why? Because that is tunnel-vision.
At the end of the day, your long-term and holistic growth is what is most important to us. We take your broader goals into account, and we need to be able to pivot strategies along the way when things change in the landscape.
We don’t want tunnel-vision on what particular metric; we want to grow your businesses steadily, for the long term. That’s why we don’t give a ROAS guarantee, because it can be detrimental to your long-term growth.
Who will be working on my account?
You will NOT have 1 account manager who manages dozens of clients. You get your own personal TEAM of marketing strategists. Typically, this consists of a Data Marketing Strategist, Creative Marketing Strategist, Growth Marketing Strategist, Graphic Designer, Innovation Lead, and Google Specialist.
Megaphone is also led by 2022’s Woman of the Year, Lauren Oakes, and Melbourne Young Entrepreneur Winner, Max Hertan.
I’m worried about getting a return on my investment. What peace of mind can you give me?
Over 90% of clients who partner with Megaphone see excellent results, and remain as a partner for the long-term. While this stems from the excellent results (last Black Friday, for example, we were able to turn $3.1m into $22.8m for our clients), often it is because of more intangible reasons — because of the exceptional customer service, proactivity in providing ideas, authenticity, and unwavering honesty to tell it like it is.
It’s important to view Megaphone as a long-term partner. While great sales results after 1 month can and do happen, we typically see the sweet spot being 3-9 months. This gives the digital marketing platform algorithms enough time to learn about your audience.
Megaphone has also been recognised locally and internationally for our campaigns, our leadership and our customer service – collectively, we have over 90 awards, more than any other Australian digital marketing agency.
The most successful Megaphone-client results are when we are both aligned in our vision. As Regan from Core Foundations (Megaphone client) said, “As good as they are, it’s not a one-way street. If you know your business, with their expertise, you become dangerous.”
How much does it cost to work with Megaphone?
Based on 10+ years growing businesses and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of ad spend, we’ve found that brands willing to spend at least $5k per month have a greater likelihood of seeing fantastic returns.
This is because most digital marketing platforms are “pay to play”, and Meta, Google and TikTok reward businesses who spend more on their ads.
Inclusive of Megaphone’s service fee, most clients should have a marketing budget of $5k-$10k per month.
Social media agencies can charge between $1,500-$25,000 per month, depending on the services provided and the size of the business. Working with Megaphone can be as inexpensive as $2,500 Australian.
Which methods/services will Megaphone use to grow my business?
The Megaphone team specialises in growing eCommerce and service businesses through holistic marketing strategies, made up of:
👉 Google Ads 👉 Meta Ads 👉 TikTok 👉 SEO 👉 Lead Generation 👉 Email Marketing 👉 Content Creation 👉 Programmatic 👉 CRO 👉 Branding 👉 and more
Megaphone has helped build brands of all shapes, sizes and industries – from names like Alias Mae and F45 to boutique beauty brands, local service businesses and everyone in between.
With Megaphone, you’re guaranteed first access to new platform updates, trends and techniques. That’s because the agency is a Top 3% Google Partner™, Gold Academy TikTok Partner, and top-tier partner with Meta, Klaviyo, Shopify, Yotpo and more.
What’s Megaphone’s approach to creative testing?
Megaphone has its own in-house design and creative team, consisting of graphic designers, web designers, videographers, product photographers, audio engineers, and more.
With so much talent on hand, we are able to produce more intelligent, data-backed tests than any other agency.
It’s important to always be testing new creatives; we’ll never settle for “good” when you can achieve “great”.
Does Megaphone ONLY focus on marketing? Or can you help other areas of my business too?
With strong knowledge across all aspects of business growth – from manufacturing, shipping and distribution to marketing, post-purchase experiences, community building, branding, and so much more – Megaphone acts as an extension to your business.
You will see Megaphone as part of the team, not an addition to it. That’s thanks to our unique ability to solve problems no matter in which area they arise – marketing or elsewhere.
Megaphone also has an exclusive ecosystem full of partner services you can lean on to help grow your business in other areas. This includes finance parters for if/when you need capital, tech partners to expand your digital presence, 3PLs to improve logistics and shopping, business coaches, and more.
How do Megaphone’s prices compare to other digital marketing agencies?
Megaphone is a full-service digital marketing agency, which means you have access to all the opportunities you could possibly need to take your brand to the next level. Despite being able to provide more than most other agencies, our prices remain highly competitive in the landscape.
The main reason we typically start prices above the $5k-$10k p/m mark (inclusive of ad spend) is because this is the sweet spot for digital marketing platforms to put your advertising dollars to work in the most profitable way. Meta and Google punish low spenders, so you need to be willing to invest the minimum threshold in order to reap the rewards of the tailored growth strategies we will create for you.
This competitive price also opens doors to Megaphone’s business-growth ecosystem, which consists of finance parters for if/when you need capital, tech partners to expand your digital presence, 3PLs to improve logistics and shopping, business coaches, and more.
What does the cost of my package include? Do I get more value with Megaphone than the cheaper agencies?
In the world of agencies, you typically get what you pay for. In addition to having multiple experts on your account every day, with Megaphone, you also get several important benefits that smaller, cheaper agencies are not able to provide, such as:
👉Exclusive partnerships with Google (Top 3% Google Partner™), TikTok ( Gold Academy TikTok Partner), Meta, Klaviyo, Shopify, Yotpo, Gorgias & more.
👉10 years of data based on hundreds of millions of dollars of ad spend. These learnings help us make your business’s strategy 10x more powerful.
👉Experience across every eCommerce and service industry you can imagine. We’ve helped grow 1,000+ different Aussie businesses, and we apply those learnings to help give your brand a fast-tracked route to success.
👉Innovative leadership through Woman of the Year, Lauren Oakes, and Melbourne Young Entrepreneur Winner + multiple-8-figure founder, Max Hertan.
👉A dedicated “Innovation Team” who constantly hunts for new ways for your business to generate revenue and retain more customers.
👉Strong relationships with complementary service providers as part of the “Megaphone Ecosystem”, such as 3PLs, tech stacks, finance partners, and more. This means that we aren’t just a digital marketing agency, we can also give you tips on how to make your business more effective from a manufacturing, shipping and service point of view too.
👉Top-of-the-line reporting software so that you are always up to date with what is happening – because 100% transparency is a non-negotiable for us.
With all of this and more, you get exceptional value for money when partnering with Megaphone.
