About My Business
Burgs Digital is an Auckland-based digital marketing agency that helps small and medium New Zealand businesses grow, without the confusion, jargon, or ballooning invoices that usually come with modern marketing. Founder Josh Burgisser started the agency after years in corporate business development, where he watched digital become the biggest lever for growth and watched most small businesses get left behind, priced out of the big agencies and let down by the one-person, iPhone-and-a-ring-light operators. He built Burgs Digital for the businesses stuck in the middle. In just two years it’s grown from one person into a team of seven, working with around 30 clients across real estate, trades, fitness, automotive, haircare, legal, and even confectionery. What makes it different is that everything happens in-house: strategy, scriptwriting, filming, editing, paid advertising, and reporting, all handled by a team that knows each client’s business, not just their account number. Every shoot goes out with two people, a shooter and a dedicated account manager, so clients build a real relationship with someone who understands their brand and makes them comfortable on camera, often for the first time. That’s the mission: take the guesswork out of marketing for business owners who are brilliant at what they do but don’t have time to become social media experts too, and treat their growth like it’s our own.
Why We Should Win The Peoples Choice Award
Josh Burgisser’s own dad told him not to start this agency. He’d run a small business for years and was, by his own admission, the loudest skeptic in the room about whether social media marketing was worth a single dollar. Josh started Burgs Digital anyway. A year later, his dad became a client. Today he’s one of the business’s biggest advocates. If Burgs Digital can win over its harshest, most old-school critic, imagine what it can do for your business, or your favourite local one. That story is the whole business in miniature. When you work with Burgs Digital you don’t get handed to a rotating cast of freelancers, you get a dedicated account manager who learns your quirks, and every shoot goes out with two people so nobody rushes the moment that matters. This is a team that backs its own advice, too. Early on, Josh put real money into physical billboards to build the name offline, a bold move for a young social agency, and it worked, because people could finally put a face and a place to the brand they kept seeing online. What started as one person with a camera has become a small, tight Auckland crew who show up early, stay late for client shoots, and treat every client like their biggest. Voting for Burgs Digital is a vote for a local business that took a real risk, backed its instincts, and built something to last instead of chasing a quick win. It costs you nothing, and it means everything to a small team that’s only just getting started.
