About Us

We are methodical, creative, and occasionally unorthodox. We are well organised and skilful, but also highly resourceful and driven by quality, satisfying outcomes. We love inventing and problem solving. But strategy drives us.

We use marketing to solve business problems.

Our Approach

We approach every new project with a strategic mindset and an expectation that our clients will be glad they chose to work with us. We understand the strength of quality marketing and believe that we can demonstrate this through the work we do.

We don't do churn-n-burn work; we provide guidance and insights at each step of the project delivery cycle. This helps our clients understand the intricacies of their project more thoroughly and alleviates uncertainty. We don't do cookie-cutter, cliché responses to our client's questions; all businesses are different and have their own unique set of plan and problems, and our advice is tailored accordingly.

We have a constantly evolving, highly rigorous, and interdisciplinary framework for communication and solving problems. This allows us to provide quality outcomes, with heightened efficiency, and clear, predictable milestones.

Responsiveness

We treat every call, email, and instant message with urgency. No one is left wondering where their project or query is up to.

Accuracy

Our project planning and communication processes ensure that all of our work is accurate and on schedule at all times.

Efficiency

Our robust project and task management processes ensure that we deliver on time and as expected each time.

Our Team

Founded by Andrew Knight and Stephen Riley, Vandalist Marketing has been in operation since 2015.

Like most agencies, the business began from a home office on a shoe-string budget. Through a commitment to quality work and genuine problem solving, the business now consists of a team of ten with dedicated resources for project management and quality assurance to ensure that all work is done efficiently and to the standard that our customers rely on.

With over 40 years' experience in strategic marketing and business management with our co-founders alone, our team is structured in a manner that allows experts to perform expert work, with the assurance of having strict quality assurance processes.

We pride ourselves on our ability to work together to solve problems. Even if set tasks are assigned to specific individuals, we collaborate to stress test our ideas and ensure the best solution is going to be put forward. And most importantly, we keep our customers front and centre in our decision making to ensure that the work we are doing is going to genuinely solve their business problems.

Our Values

We are a team that acknowledges that we have a lot of resources individually and collectively to do good work.

As professionals, we work hard to provide quality, high value outcomes and solve problems for those who trust us to do so. Socially, we work on being decent humans who respect the space we live in and create goodwill where we can. As a business, we pride ourselves on being immensely talented problem solvers that use marketing as our weapon of choice.

We don't need to be the greatest, but we do strive to be great at what we do.

Ship it Right

Some things need time, some things just need to get done right now. We move with urgency and aim huge.

We Aren't Everyone

We are confident in our talents but are not so arrogant to think that our way is the only way to go.

Start Excited Stay Excited

We are skilful, motivated professionals that do cool work. We don't get complacent; we get more valuable.

Never Know Enough

Our best work comes from listening, researching, and executing. The more we know, the more we grow.

Pitch Fearlessness

We aim for excellence; being fearless with how we meet challenges, pitch ideas, and how we solve problems.

We’ve been using Vandalist for a few years now and they have been first class. Their communication and responsiveness is second to none.

- Paul, Solo Resource Recovery

We got on board with Vandalist because their skillset suited our needs, and we needed a marketing partner who could work with our overseas offices. They have been a pleasure to work with.

- Andries, Archie Hardware

Vandalist have been fundamental in the rebranding of my business. From our initial conversation, Vandalist was able to understand at depth what I was after and implement creative ideas and strategy with a long term view. Having the Vandalist team in my corner as my business grows into the future is something I look forward to and would highly recommend.

- Taidhg, Paragon Insurance

I had the opportunity to work on a large website with Vandalist recently to be delivered in a few intense weeks. Their communication, management of the project, customer service and commitment to delivering on time were outstanding, as was their technical knowledge. They gave well over 100% effort and were a pleasure to work with.

- Sherryl, Action Communication

I can't believe we hit our investor target. Thanks for everything you guys did. I thought we might have overshot our expectations but you guys got it done. Thanks again.

- Stuart, Stronghold

Vandalist have been a big help with our website re-build, renewed marketing effort, SEO and social media brand positioning. In all honesty, what they do is probably not rocket science, but where they are different to others we've used it the past, is that they actually care about your results and working with them is way easier and more fun.

- Craig, Matilda Veneer

Vandalist was instrumental in helping us get our brand and products out to an international audience. They were incredibly responsive and very easy to work with.
