Growing the Lemon
Back in 2000 Sue Wilkinson and Graham Dockrill saw an opportunity to launch a webshop in the suburbs of Christchurch. From this humble beginning hairyLemon has grown steadily from strength to strength, realising Sue and Graham's vision for an integrated digital marketing agency with clients around New Zealand and offshore.
Over the years we've collected a number of awards. Our ability to flex and change to meet the needs of the ever evolving digital market has led to rapid growth over the last decade. This was reflected in hairyLemon's inclusion in the Deloitte Fast 50 list of New Zealand's fastest growing companies in 2003, 2004 and 2008. We've also made the Asia Pacific Fast 500 several years running.
From web development to conversion optimisation and online marketing, we think digital and take pride in delivering carefully crafted, highly effective solutions for our clients. We'll take your vision and using our four areas of expertise – strategy, creative, technology and traffic – we will help your business stand out in the crowd. We see it as our responsibility to help you succeed and stay afloat in this brave new digital world.
