How the group works

One conversation. The right specialist.

You don't have to work out which agency you need. Tell us what you're trying to grow and we'll put the right brand, or the right mix, on it.

Find my brand
01

Tell us once.

One form or one call. Your goals, your budget and where growth is stuck. No pitching yourself to three agencies.

We need more leads, and our website is holding us back.
02

We match the specialist.

We point you to the brand built for the job, or combine them when growth needs more than one lever.

FAQ

Questions? We got you.

The questions people ask when they find out there are three of us.

Take the 1-minute match quiz
They're three specialist brands in one Australian group, AF Group. April Ford is the full-service performance marketing agency, Sneaky runs paid media for brands with bigger budgets, and Gimmie Social makes TikTok and social content. Same group, same standards.
Watch the answer
You probably visited one of the other brands in the group. April Ford, Sneaky and Gimmie Social each have their own website and their own personality, but the same group sits behind all three.
Watch the answer
Take the 1-minute match quiz on this page. Tell us what you need and roughly what you spend, and we'll point you to the right brand. A senior specialist will come back to you within 1 business day.
