Digital marketing case studies

Proof, not promises.

Real results for real businesses across ski and snowboard rental, tourism and ecommerce. Start with the case studies below. Further down you will find a few video testimonials, and every one of our Fully Charged Media reviews, straight from Google.

Illustration of Fully Charged Media's real client results across ski rental, tourism and ecommerce

One honest note before you dig in. Every result below is real, from a real business, and they share one thing: the owner chose to treat marketing as an investment in their business, not a cost to keep as low as possible.

We work hard to make marketing a profit centre rather than an expense, but it is never only down to us. Results still rest on a strong offer and on acting on the advice we give. The owners here backed their own business and committed, rather than waiting for someone else to carry the risk first. That is what turns proven results into their results.

Ski & Snowboard Rental

Revenue up 18% in one of the worst snow seasons on record

Real growth for a US rental store we have never visited, in a season the weather did everything to wreck and local competitors went backwards. Proof that results do not need proximity.

Winning back bookings from the OTAs

A scenic helicopter operator turning around 30 times its ad spend into revenue, and winning bookings direct for a fraction of what the online travel agencies were charging.

Ecommerce

Off the marketplaces, onto a store of their own

How a kitchen and homeware retailer cut its reliance on high-commission marketplaces and more than doubled its direct online sales, keeping both the margin and the customer.

The Land Search and Rescue New Zealand website homepage
Charity

A custom website built so a charity rarely needs us

Land Search and Rescue New Zealand wanted a website they could run themselves, so every dollar goes to rescuing people, not agency change requests. We built them a custom site designed to do exactly that, and have been their partner since.

A full website we wrote, branded and built for them

Property Queenstown wanted a new site but were new to the whole process. We guided them through it, set up brand guidelines with their designer, wrote all the copy and built the entire site, with minimal demand on their time.

An accessible website refresh that lifted visits

Safer Walking came to us off the back of the Land Search and Rescue New Zealand build. We refreshed their site to be more appealing and genuinely screen-reader accessible, working carefully across several organisations, and their visits climbed.

Fully Charged Media reviews

Google review

The report itself was incredibly well put together, detailed, insightful, and genuinely valuable for our business. It highlighted key opportunities and challenges in a way that made us step back and look at things from a different perspective, which is exactly what we needed. It wasn't just surface-level data, it provided meaningful insights that we can actually use to inform our strategy. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone who can deliver clear, thoughtful, and actionable analysis.

We had Fully Charged Media do a digital audit of our digital assets and could not have been more pleased with the work done. We got a comprehensive digital review of our current website and an action plan to work from as we develop further. Darren has set us up to succeed in the digital space. We very much appreciate the clear communication and comprehensive professional work done.

Darren is absolutely superb to work with. We did a 1-1 and the information and tips I took away were worth their weight in gold. Darren goes above and beyond and really gives you extreme value. I really look forward to working with him on developing my digital presence further, and continuing my learning also. Thanks Darren!
