Our why

We exist for one purpose ā€“ to take the overwhelm and unknown out of social media and digital marketing for busy business owners in New Zealand.

Itā€™s hard to keep up with all the latest social media trends, technology, TikToks and Tweets, so our mission is to give you everything you need to effectively grow and manage your own digital presence with the power of social media and a range of other digital marketing tools.

OurĀ goal

We want you and your team to have the confidence to know what you need to do to be effective with your marketing, and thereā€™s nothing we love more than hearing about the positive change weā€™ve been able to have in the thousands of businesses weā€™ve worked with.

OurĀ history

The Classroom was started more than a decade ago by Claire Oā€™Connell, an ex Facebook & MySpace employee who wanted to pass on her knowledge to more Kiwi business owners.

In 2022 Seth Zorn joined the business and took over the reins, armed with fresh ideas for helping more people and their businesses. Heā€™s built up a team around The Classroom now to ensure the increasing demand on the knowledge and services we offer continue to be met.

Seth comes from an agency background having run a successful Wellington-based marketing agency, Tailgunner Digital, for the last 15 years. During that time heā€™s worked with the likes of Wellington Zoo, Te Papa, InterIslander Ferry and Deer Industry NZ on their social media and general marketing.

Between The Classroom and Tailgunner Digital we have the unique opportunity to practice what we preach and offer an awesome range of services.
