Our logo

Our company logo featuring a tree was an obvious choice but it was also something we thought a lot about. We wanted a logo that inspires us to fulfill our vision and deliver on our mission each time we see it. 
Trees are living, solid and enduring and represent growth and vitality. All the things we aim to nurture in the businesses we work with. 

At another level, the tree also serves as a metaphor for marketing. The roots represent the unseen marketing work of research, planning, strategy, brand and design necessary to make promotions successful. The trunk of the tree represents the marketing plan which sets the direction and scope. Spreading from the trunk are the branches and leaves representing the almost endless range of different ways you can reach and engage with your customers.

Our team

Danny Hall - Director 
BBS (Marketing)

Married with three beautiful children, I have been a professional marketer for 20 years. I've worked for small businesses and multi nationals in a range of marketing, sales and management roles across the marketing spectrum. 

After a career selling wholesale travel to south Pacific destinations, I got a job working for Carlson Marketing Group on their loyalty marketing programmes. This is where my interest and understanding of marketing really connected. Starting in customer service, I progressed to supervisory and account management roles learning a great deal about how loyalty marketing works over the four years I was with them. 

For the next five years I worked for IBM during the tech boom, first in SMB (small to medium business) and then at the Asia Pacific level as a market specialist. My role was in the marketing intelligence team where I learned the analytic, database and data mining side of marketing. 

I returned to New Plymouth when we had our first child and got a job as a marketing analyst with the Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki (WITT). Over the next eleven years I was promoted to marketing manager, director of marketing and finally executive director. One of the most exciting developments during my time at WITT was integrating social media marketing and communications, online marketing and mobile marketing with traditional marketing tactics into a comprehensive marketing portfolio. 

Marketing is always changing and evolving which makes it constantly fascinating, challenging and rewarding. That's why I'm delighted to start The Marketing Tree and share my knowledge and experience with businesses wanting to grow.

Sarah Hall - Director 
BLE (Hons), PGDip Applied Finance and Investment

,Also married with 3 children! (To save any confusion, Sarah is married to Danny and we are talking about the same three children! - Danny). 

My work background is in financial services, having worked in a variety of leadership roles in retail and investment banking businesses both in Australia and New Zealand for the past 22 years.

Born and raised in Portsmouth, England, I completed a Bachelor of Land Economy at the University of Aberdeen. At the time, I had envisioned a career working in urban renewal or property valuation. While it remains a keen interest, the vision took a slight detour into financial services when I headed off with my backpack to Australia and South East Asia for my OE.

My career in financial services began when I got a role leading the Customer Service team at Tyndall in Sydney, a boutique Australian investment company that specialised in managed funds. When Tyndall became part of the Royal Sun Alliance Group, my role changed to Client Service Manager responsible for our service team looking after retail and wholesale clients. During this time, I continued my studies and completed a Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investment.

My next step was to Macquarie Funds Management, where I lead the team providing support to all our wholesale managed fund clients across Australia.

Moving to New Zealand in 2003, I worked for Abacus Insurance in customer service. It was a great introduction to the Kiwi way of life and I got to meet lots of people in my newly adopted home. In 2005, I joined the National Bank as Assistant Manager before joining Westpac in 2010 as a Bank Manager. I moved to my current role as Head of Support for TSB Bank In 2016.   

My role at The Marketing Tree is managing the administrative and financial systems so we can provide the efficiencies of a big business with the personal touch of a small business.
