Built by a passionate student,
driven by your success.
Oscar Mabin
Founder, Southern Growth
Hi, I'm Oscar — the founder of Southern Growth.
I'm a 2nd-year student at the University of Canterbury, studying a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Marketing with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I started Southern Growth because I'm genuinely passionate about helping local New Zealand businesses thrive and grow.
Studying marketing at university means I'm immersed in current strategy, consumer behaviour, and the latest tools every single day — and I get to apply what I'm learning directly to real businesses, not just textbook case studies. That combination of fresh academic knowledge and on-the-ground execution is what makes Southern Growth different.
I know I'm young, and I know I'm just starting. But that's exactly why I'll work harder for your business than an established agency ever would. Your success builds mine — so I'm fully invested in making yours happen.
Boutique by design. Focused by choice.
Your Christchurch Marketing Partner
Southern Growth is a boutique digital marketing agency based in Christchurch, serving the South Island and all of New Zealand remotely. We focus exclusively on the services that produce measurable growth — email marketing, SEO, paid advertising and web design.
Most small NZ businesses know they need to market online, but don't know where to start, don't have time to learn, or have been burned by agencies that over-promised and under-delivered. We fix that with transparent plain-English reporting, month-to-month contracts, strategies built around your budget, and regular check-ins so you always know what's happening.
We're new, and that's our advantage. Every client matters. You get our full attention, fresh thinking, and a level of dedication established agencies simply can't match.
No lock-in contracts
Month-to-month — confidence built through results, not legal obligations
Transparent reporting
Plain-English monthly reports — you'll always know exactly what your money is doing
Senior-level work
You work directly with us — no rotating roster of juniors handling your account
Local expertise
Deep understanding of Christchurch and NZ consumer behaviour built in
Our Promise to You
What you can expect from day one
