The solo-agency model Ciao — I’m Andrea
Ciao.Marketing isn’t a big agency wall you’ll never get past. It’s me — a Gold Coast marketer and builder with 10+ years of experience — personally handling your growth, backed by trusted specialists when a project needs extra hands.
Why one person, not a big agency?
Most agencies hand you to a junior account manager while someone else does the actual work. I skip that layer entirely — you get a specialist with real runs on the board, directly. And the honest objection people raise — “but what if you’re too busy, or on holiday?” — has a simple answer: for bigger builds, I bring in freelance specialists I’ve worked with for years. You still only ever deal with me.
Solo specialist vs. traditional agency
Here’s the honest breakdown — including the one place a big agency genuinely has the edge.
That’s the trade-off, honestly: an agency has a bigger in-house bench. I close that gap with trusted freelance specialists for bigger builds — while keeping everything else that makes working with one accountable person better.
My story
“Ciao” means both hello and goodbye — and that’s exactly how I see my role. I say hello to your growth challenges, and goodbye to the slow websites, wasted ad spend and manual busywork holding your business back.
I started Ciao.Marketing because too many businesses were being sold pretty websites that didn’t convert and ad campaigns that burned cash without accountability. I do it differently: every website, campaign and automation I build is engineered around one thing — growing your business.
I don’t just market technology — I build it. I’m also the founder of Asky, a hospitality platform I built from scratch that’s now growing across Australia, Brazil and the USA, and was selected as a Top 20 hospitality startup by Fogo Alto in Brazil. When I market your business, I’m applying the same product thinking I used to build my own.
Based on the Gold Coast, I combine the latest in web technology, AI and data-driven advertising to deliver agency-grade results without the agency runaround. Whether you’re a local trade or a national brand, you get the same obsession with performance — from me, personally.
