What we do
Services
We drive value through high-impact marketing strategies to drive visitor growth for tourism operators and organisations.
Embracing digital best practice is one of the most urgent challenges facing the tourism industry. The modern online landscape offers huge opportunity to communicate directly with consumers; inspiring preference, facilitating engagement and driving direct bookings. We help to take your website and digital activity to the next level in a way that drives clear value to your bottom line or your stakeholders.
Working with tourism businesses and organisations both large and small, we are passionate about doing industry-leading work that makes real, tangible impact.

Throwback Thursday to our tourist takeover at the B:HIVE for Halloween last month 👻 We may work in tourism, but this year, we took the role seriously and dressed up as stereotypical (and scarily-realistic!) tourists: Hawaiian shirts, cameras in hand, and snapping photos at every chance we got!

As our trip down Maverick memory lane continues, we`re shining a light on the highlights of 2020 and 2021. It was the years that a certain large global event threw a few surprises into the mix - and when our mantra quickly became Keep Calm and Carry On.
While international borders were closed, domestic demand remained strong and we worked alongside clients to encourage Kiwis to explore their big backyards.
We ran free weekly webinars to offer tips, tricks and tactics to the industry to pivot and drive conversions from the domestic market - and we shared our Maverick magic with tons of tourism businesses as part of the Qualmark Digital Capability programme.
🔒 Lockdowns (remember those?!) brought us together online
🐳 We kicked off our partnership with Destination Kaikōura
👩✈️ We dressed up as Top Gun fighter pilots for our team photoshoot
🌲 We climbed new partnership heights with Redwoods Treewalk
🛶 Team day saw us paddle to Rangitoto and enjoy a sunset BBQ
We all have our memories of the pandemic years - and for us, working hard to help our clients survive and thrive was a real source of pride.
Looking back, this time was key in building our resilience and agility - and helping to lay the foundations for next chapter of Maverick (more on that next week!)

As we continue reflecting on a decade of Maverick, today we`re throwing it back to 2019 - a year filled with fun, adventures, and a bit of mischief.
This was the year we kicked off our first themed photoshoot in goofy bowling whites, #justbecause!
We had an epic team day at @ecozip_adventures, zipping through the trees then using their awesome conference facilities to plan world domination.
2019 also saw Tim and Alex heading down to Rotorua to onboard @offroadnzrotorua - just look at Tim sizing up that impressive 7-metre drop on their awesome 4WD Bush Safari product 😱 Five years on and we`re still proud as punch to work with Ian, Carol and the team.
To top it all off, we threw a fabulous birthday bash to mark five fantastic years in business with some of our favourite tourism friends. Time flies when you`re having fun! 🙌

Today, we’re reminiscing about 2018 – a real milestone year for Maverick! 🌟 2018 saw us kick off our partnership with the legendary @hobbitontours, an absolute business highlight. Collaborating with such an iconic operator brought our passion and know-how for tourism marketing to life in a whole new way. 2018 was also the year we were lucky enough to add Kelly Hookey to the team – six years later, Kel is one of our longest-serving Mavericks and leads our powerhouse Performance team.

Today we’re throwing it back to 2014, where Maverick’s journey began 🌍✈️ After working at Tourism New Zealand, Founder Alex Dykman left for an OE in South America – collaborating with a bunch of awesome kiwi operators on all things marketing along the way. Curating digital strategies, social media plans and paid media campaigns in between exploring the Galapagos Islands and hiking in the Andes – now that’s work/life balance😉
After returning home, Alex set up Maverick Digital officially, and the rest is history. From humble beginnings to helping tourism smash digital in New Zealand, the USA, Canada and the South Pacific - we’re celebrating a decade in business! Here’s to many more years of innovation and adventure in tourism marketing.
