HELPING BUSINESSES GROW SMARTER, FASTER, AND STRONGER

Hi, I'm Hayden 👋

I’m a strategist, founder, and marketer at heart - passionate about helping businesses grow smarter, not just bigger.

After years leading marketing for some of New Zealand’s top brands, I decided to build my own path - creating tools, strategies, and systems that help businesses simplify, scale, and succeed in a noisy world.

Through Line & Circle and Thinklift, I work with businesses that are ready to lift to the next level - using sharp marketing, smart automation, and practical action plans that actually fit real-world teams.

If you’re chasing growth and need a partner who’s walked the path, let's chat. 🚀
