About Open Door Marketing: Your Real Estate Marketing Partner

At Open Door Marketing, we specialise in real estate marketing that empowers agents to focus on what they do best: listing and selling houses.

Since 2010, we’ve partnered with high-performing real estate professionals from Auckland to Wellington, Christchurch to Dunedin, Kaitaia to Invercargill, and everywhere in between, to build standout personal brands and establish their presence as trusted authorities in their local communities.

Proven Real Estate Marketing Strategies for New Zealand Agents

At Open Door Marketing, our suite of proven real estate marketing strategies empowers New Zealand agents to grow their visibility, reputation, and authority in a highly competitive market. By targeting the right audience and crafting professional campaigns, we ensure you're not just another agent but your local community's go-to professional, whenever it's time to sell.

With over a decade of experience we’ve supported hundreds of New Zealand agents from 33 leading brands who aim to build trust through strong, lasting relationships—but need a partner to help them market consistently and effectively.

Formerly known as Downright Brilliant, we rebranded in 2021 to our original, legally registered name, Open Door Marketing, to better reflect our mission and vision.
