Newcastle Marketing Agency

Award-winning, full-service and proudly Novocastrian. We’ve been helping Newcastle and Hunter Region businesses grow since 2009, with strategy, creative, digital and training that actually delivers. We’ve worked with dozens of local businesses over the years, and there’s nothing we love more than helping our Newcastle and Hunter community thrive.

Your Newcastle Marketing Agency – Local Since 2009

The Creative Collective has been part of the Newcastle business community since 2009, when Katrina Lees, a proud Novocastrian, moved back to the region.

Nearly two decades after our Sunshine Coast beginnings, we’re one of the most experienced full-service marketing agencies operating in the Hunter.

Today we work from our Wickham office (having started out in Mayfield) with businesses of all sizes across Newcastle and the wider Hunter region, from local startups to established brands with national reach.

Whether you need strategy, creative, digital marketing or hands-on training, our Newcastle team has the skills and experience to get it done.

Why Choose The Creative Collective as Your Newcastle Marketing Agency?

Ahead of the Curve, Always

We were one of the first agencies in Australia to offer social media services and training, one of the first to offer chatbot services, and today we’re at the forefront of AI-assisted marketing. We don’t chase trends, we help shape them.

Deep Roots in the Newcastle & Hunter Community

Since co-founder Katrina Lees moved back to Newcastle in 2009, we’ve spent over 15 years building relationships with local media, councils, tourism organisations and business communities across the Hunter. From our early days in Mayfield to our current Wickham office, that network is something you simply can’t replicate overnight, and our clients benefit from it every day.

Small Enough to Care, Big Enough to Deliver

Our Newcastle team is backed by specialists based across Australia. You get the personal attention of a local agency with the depth of capability of a much larger operation. Every client matters here, because we make sure of it.

Award-Winning Work

We’ve won numerous awards for our people, our work and our company. We’ve also helped clients win local, national and international awards through our sister company, Awards Hub, founded by our own Yvette Adams. Results speak louder than promises.

Experts Without Egos

We hire genuine people who know their craft and care about their clients. You won’t get the runaround here. You’ll get transparency, honest advice and a team that’s invested in your success. As we like to say, we’re experts without egos.

Truly Full-Service

From your first strategy session through to ongoing execution, we’re your end-to-end marketing partner. Many clients start with one service and grow their engagement over time as they see the results. Whatever stage you’re at, we can support you.
