What's Concentrating?
Concentrate was formed in 2004, and has since worked with hundreds of New Zealand technology companies across virtually every industry and geography.
The technology firms we’ve worked with have featured on the covers of the New York Times and Time Magazine, been sold to multinational technology giants, launched on stock markets and won numerous awards.
As a HubSpot Diamond Certified Agency Partner and New Zealand first accredited HubSpot Master Trainer, Concentrate is also a key agency for HubSpot in Asia-Pacific and is bringing huge benefits to the sales and marketing programmes of Kiwi technology companies.
"As one of our first agency partners, Concentrate have played an important role in the growth of HubSpot in New Zealand. They have taken international best practice from HubSpot and applied it with real benefit to their clients, particularly in the hi-tech sector. As a HubSpot Diamond Partner, and with Owen Scott's appointment as the first and only HubSpot Master Trainer in the country, Concentrate are ideally placed to help their clients grow better with the inbound methodology and the HubSpot Growth Platform."
