About Me

I’m Finlay, the founder of Astral Advertising based in Palmerston North. I started this agency at 16 because I saw how many local businesses were wasting money on marketing that didn’t work.

I focus on one thing: building lead generation systems that actually deliver results. Strategies that bring you more leads, more sales, and more time to focus on what you do best.

Why I Started Astral Advertising

I’m not your typical agency owner. I didn’t start with investors or a fancy office — just a laptop, a drive to learn, and a mission to help local Kiwi businesses grow.

When I first got into marketing, I saw so many business owners wasting money on ads that didn’t work. Most agencies either overcharged, overcomplicated, or overpromised — and none of them were truly focused on results.

So I built Astral Advertising around one simple idea: deliver more leads than the client knows what to do with — without the bloated costs or confusing fluff. Everything we do is focused on simplicity, transparency, and consistent growth.

I don’t care about sounding fancy — I care about getting you more leads, more booked jobs, and more peace of mind.
