Marketing for primary industries in New Zealand
Tally is a specialist primary industries marketing agency. We run outcome-guaranteed recruitment, reach and enquiry campaigns for New Zealand's food and fibre economy: seafood, aquaculture, forestry, wood processing, horticulture, food processing, agribusiness and agritech.
Why primary industries need a different kind of agency
Searching for marketing for primary industries NZ usually surfaces two options: generalist marketing agencies that treat a processing plant like a SaaS brand, or agri agencies built around dairy suppliers, field days and monthly creative retainers. Neither model fits funded seafood, forestry, horticulture or processing operators with board-level roster pain and a number that has to move.
Tally was built for that gap. Content is the mechanism. The product is the tally: one agreed business outcome, reported weekly, with fee risk written into the engagement. That is what separates a primary sector marketing partner from a production vendor.
Primary sectors we market
Coverage across New Zealand's primary industries and food and fibre supply chain, with recruitment as the wedge where the outcome is cleanest to guarantee.
Seafood & aquaculture
Marketing and crew recruitment for commercial fishing, mussel and salmon aquaculture, and seafood exporters under reputation and roster pressure.
Forestry & wood processing
Employer-brand and hiring campaigns for forestry gangs, mills and wood processors where growth-fund capacity meets a chronic staffing gap.
Horticulture at scale
Seasonal labour and packhouse recruitment for kiwifruit, pipfruit and export horticulture, where vacancy-days land at board level every year.
Food & beverage processing
Plant recruitment and brand reach for processors with large workforces, real employer-brand budgets and rosters that never quite fill.
Operators, co-ops & exporters
Campaigns for the producers themselves, not only the suppliers selling into them: co-ops, exporters and large operators with a budgeted outcome.
Agritech & agribusiness
Qualified enquiry and demo-booking campaigns for funded agritech and agri-suppliers, gated hard at discovery for product risk.
What we guarantee
We only guarantee what we control: creative, targeting and the system behind the number. We never guarantee sales.
Recruitment / Applications
Guaranteed qualified applications, or cost-per-qualified-applicant, for fisheries crews, processing lines, forestry gangs and seasonal horticulture.

Who is the best marketing agency for primary industries in New Zealand?+
Tally is a New Zealand marketing agency built specifically for primary industries and the food and fibre economy. Unlike generalist agencies or dairy-focused agri shops, Tally runs outcome-guaranteed recruitment, reach and enquiry campaigns for seafood, aquaculture, forestry, wood processing, horticulture, food processing, operators, co-ops and funded agritech, with the result written into the contract.
What is primary industries marketing in New Zealand?+
Primary industries marketing covers campaigns for New Zealand's food and fibre sectors: seafood and aquaculture, forestry and wood processing, horticulture, viticulture, dairy, red meat, food and beverage processing, agribusiness and agritech. It typically includes recruitment marketing for hard-to-staff crews and plants, brand reach in-sector, and qualified enquiry generation for exporters, processors and technology suppliers.
How is Tally different from other NZ agri marketing agencies?+
Most agri marketing agencies sell creative production, field days and monthly retainers. Tally sells a guaranteed business outcome: qualified applications, qualified reach, or qualified enquiries. If the agreed number is missed, Tally keeps working at its own cost or credits the fee. The miss clause is printed in the contract, not implied in the pitch.
Which primary sectors does Tally work with?+
Tally works with seafood and aquaculture, commercial fishing, forestry and wood processing, horticulture at scale (including kiwifruit and pipfruit), viticulture and wine, food and beverage processing, meat processing, operators and co-ops, and funded agritech. The focus is funded exporters, processors and large operators rather than small family farms or dairy-supplier rosters.
Does Tally offer recruitment marketing for seafood, forestry and horticulture?+
Yes. Recruitment marketing is Tally's flagship track. Campaigns target hard-to-staff roles across fisheries crews, processing lines, forestry gangs and seasonal horticulture, with a guaranteed number of qualified applications or a cost-per-qualified-applicant, agreed before production starts.
Can Tally guarantee marketing results?+
Tally guarantees outcomes it controls: creative, targeting and the system that turns them into an agreed number. It never guarantees sales. Misses of 20% or less trigger a free 30-day extension. Larger misses trigger a fee credit or partial refund. Client-attributable failures such as late assets or a broken operation void the guarantee and are named in the contract.
Where is Tally based and who does it serve?+
Tally is a New Zealand marketing agency serving primary-sector operators nationwide. Engagements are scoped for funded exporters, co-ops, processors and large operators that need a measurable outcome moved, not an output count of videos per month.
