About Us
Launched in 2017, J Kelly & Associates is a digital marketing practice that operates out of Christchurch, Nelson and Wellington. In 2019 the practice is expanding into the Bay of Plenty region.
With a research first attitude, the practice specialises in digital behaviour and weaving this into the latest digital marketing tactics and strategies. This is done across earned, owned and paid channels. Channel agnostic, the practice is not steeped in generic digital practices and focuses on what will achieve the best results for clients.
Having experience in multiple sectors for B2C and B2B organisations, J Kelly & Associates have particular expertise in the software and technology space. Our work in this space has covered health technology, financial technology, business process management software, business inteligence and robotics. Resource has also been committed to blockchain based projects, despite the technology still being in an early stage of application.
“Our experience in digital shows that spending time understanding the audience pays dividends in outcomes regardless of who the audience is. From buying an e-book, to purchasing enterprise scale software, the understanding will drive results, not just adverts alone.”
Focusing on gaining audience knowledge allows the practice to work with a variety of organisations outside of the B2B software and technology space. This includes work completed in health, tourism, e-commerce, construction, governmental, non-profit, investment, human resources and automotive sectors.
As trusted experts, we have partnerships with award winning and industry recognised leaders and work with their clients regularly on all digital areas.
