About Us

Kiwi owned, globally driven. Local hearts, international smarts.

Your goals shape everything we do. We build performance marketing strategies around specific outcomes — not activity — across New Zealand, Australia, and the USA.

Our Story

Stride was founded with a clear purpose: to be a performance marketing partner that genuinely cares about results, not just activity.

We believe marketing should be measurable and designed around what actually matters to your business — specific, trackable, and useful.

Based in New Zealand, we work with businesses across the Pacific and beyond. Our team brings together deep expertise across digital performance channels, combined with a collaborative approach that makes us feel like an extension of your own team.
