Service fees are quoted in the contract currency shown on your quote, and media budgets are paid directly to each platform. Display amounts in NZD identify their tax and exchange-rate basis. This page describes planning considerations, not legal advice, and does not imply a FOCUSADS office or client portfolio in New Zealand.
Localisation
New Zealand English; a small market with volatile cohorts.

What happens next
Build your plan
Ten minutes of questions about your market, economics and current setup. You get channel Priority Scores, a landing-page and tracking decision, and every cost line before anyone talks to you.
Strategist review
A FOCUSADS strategist checks the plan against your accounts and data, and flags anything the engine could not know.
Agreement and access
You approve scope and fees. We request least-privilege access to your own ad accounts. You never share passwords.
Launch with measurement
Tracking and landing pages are verified before media spend starts, so the first report measures business results.
