The Marketing Baker

Bachelor of Business and Information Management (Marketing, Information Management)
I’m Candice Baker, the Marketing Baker. I have a burning desire to help small businesses with their marketing. A recovering perfectionist and do-er of all the things, I’ve got a team of incredible people working with me to serve our amazing clients. I am inspired by what amazing people and talents there are in our community. Originally from South Africa, I have now lived more than half my life in Auckland. This means I have a good mix of being able to tell it straight, with a good dose of kiwi ingenuity. I studied a Bachelor of Business and Information Management, with a second major in Marketing at the University of Auckland and gained my professional experience in both global corporations and a great kiwi start-up success story. It’s such a privilege to work with incredible SME business owners, many of whom I am now lucky enough to call my friends. I’m all about building up those around us! My family is everything to me, including my beautiful fur babies, Frankie and Pepper. I am completely obsessed with sausage dogs, so anything sausage dog related, I’m all for it!

“Candice was so attentive, a great listener and asked lots of questions in order to get a full picture of where we were at with our marketing. The documents we received were comprehensive and provided a great framework to work with. I highly recommend Candice’s services. She knows her marketing stuff!”

““Where to begin, I do not have a marketing bone in my body! It all seemed a bit like hard work, so I wasn’t sure where to start when it came to marketing. Candice has made a huge impact, on my business and on me personally – Candice is exceptionally knowledgeable and to be quite frank an amazing person. I like Candice’s style, I like the way she goes about marketing and the way that she shares her knowledge in an unobtrusive manner. She is very humble, very kind and exceptionally good at what she does. Candice is amazing and will do amazing things for your business. What’s stopping you?” “
