Experience that cuts through the fluff
We love marketing, we love working with great clients and we love the electric buzz when a client can see their potential and they aren't left scratching their head.
Rachel Bauer
Over the last 10+ years Rachel has been a marketing assistant, Google Adwords Certified consultant, SEO specialist, E-Business Consultant, Marketing Consultant, facilitator and managed teams. She has completed contracts with Seed Waikato as Chief Doer of Things and Wintec to co-facilitate an ecommerce paper. She was also a Rotarian for 5 years and sits on the board of trustees for Volunteering Waikato.
Rach is a people person and thrives on sharing what she's learnt for the benefit of others.
Michelle Crook
Michelle has worked with pretty much every type of organisation you can think of, from childcare to funeral homes, national corporates to start up social enterprises, privately owned to council owned organisations. She served as a Rotarian for over 15 years and has sat on multiple boards, including Creative Bay of Plenty, Papamoa Surf Lifesaving Trust, YSAR, Breast Cancer Support Services Trust, Platform Plus Advisory Board and more.
Michelle is a living example of serve first, profit second.
We've had plenty of fun along the way...
The boss/employee relationship evolved into a longstanding friendship many years ago for Rach and Michelle.
They've done lots of fun and exciting projects since 2007 - Rach supported Michelle with the Colour Dash events, which raised over $125,000 for charities (pic is of us at the Rotorua event), they've both attended and held seminars and workshops together, worked together on many client projects over the years, and enjoyed lots of social occasions including awards dinners, team functions and chewing the fat over all things life and business.
Rach has watched Michelle's kids grow up into adults, now following their dreams, and Michelle loves watching Rach as a mum now raising her own family. When they get to spend time together they can often be found indulging their love of second-hand shops.
We're proud to be a Rocketspark Gold Partner
Home Grown Kids
"Home Grown Kids enlisted the help of Michelle and Rachel to assist in bringing the company to the fore in terms of becoming market leaders.
With a varied role, from market research to effective marketing strategies, to new and exciting marketing tools, the full project scope and management was handled by Rachel. She truly embraced our company's culture and achieved amazing results.
Our company has gone from strength to strength from input from Michelle and Rachel and continues to grow and develop further week by week. They not only gave us tools for then, but skills for now too.”

"We have been working with Rachel from Luna Solutions for a number of years now and have found their approach suits us perfectly. Our monthly meetings are the most effective way for us to "make decisions and keep things moving". We can trust that all our marketing plans will happen without us having to follow up on them. This allows us to carry on with what we do best while Luna Solutions can do what they do best."

Melissa Renwick
"Rachel has been fantastic in her organised, methodical way of tidying up my mess! She had a very vague brief of what was required to update our online presence going into the project, but by asking all the right questions she figured out what was required and got the job completed well within our time frame. Next time we need assistance with the world of marketing, Rachel will be our first call."
