Over $1m in New Product Sales
ELECBRAKES Elecbrakes
Elecbrakes is Australia’s first Bluetooth electric trailer brake controller. This innovative device was invented on the NSW Central Coast / Newcastle by an innovative team of engineers and trailer manufacturing experts. With the Elecbrakes system, a controller is fitted to the trailer and wired into the existing electrical circuits. A remote control or smartphone with the Elecbrakes app is then used to monitor, change settings and control the trailer’s brakes.
Channels and tactics
- Google search ads
- Facebook ads and groups marketing
- Instagram lead-gen ad campaigns
- On-site SEO
- Traditional database marketing
- New website
Outcomes
In under 2 years since launch, we were able to help Elecbrakes achieve over $1,000,000 in sales for this new product. The launch of their new website and remote control saw their monthly sales increase by 160% in the first month and they now enjoy a dominant search market share in the electric brake controller category Australia-wide. Their month-on-month growth is still trending UPwards aggressively and we’re very excited to see how Elecbrakes will continue to disrupt the traditional brake controller industry – both here in Australia and abroad!

An International Disruptor
CAMPLIFY Camplify
Around the same time our agency kicked off (in early 2015), our director Dave also co-founded a little Newcastle-based startup that had big dreams of becoming the “Airbnb for caravans”. A bold new plan, Camplify had this big vision of activating people’s under-utilised RVs to more people experience the joys of camping. Starting life as a twinkle in CEO Justin Hales’ eye, Camplify was just another “peer-to-peer marketplace idea” at the time. With no funding, no customers and no idea of what the future would hold, all we really knew was that there were a tonne of RVs that were sitting on people’s lawns not being used. That was enough for us to take a leap of faith and become part of Camplify’s digital marketing team.
Channels and tactics
- An international SEO strategy built for scale
- Hyper-targeted social media advertising
- Google advertising automation and profit optimisation
- Marketing automation management
- Tests of every growth hack under the sun
- Much, much more
Outcomes
Camplify is currently valued in excess of $20m and boasts the largest RV rental fleet in Australia and the UK. A sensational story of growth, this star Newcastle tech company now sends thousands of people on holidays every month and holds a dominant share of the RV sharing market. Our role in the journey? Well, much of Camplify’s user growth has come from the digital marketing activities we’ve helped ideate and execute. Camplify is no doubt one of the jewels in our crown and we’ve loved every second of our involvement with this awesome Aussie startup!
Here are a few nice things Camplify’s CEO said about us:
“Vicinity continually surprise me with their professionalism, expert knowledge and ability to smash the KPI’s I set them out of the water.”

About 5 Million Video Views
OUR CLIENTS LAST YEAROur Clients Last Year
One Friday arvo, we decided we’d do a count of how many video views our clients attracted last year.
The numbers were insane, with Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Linkedin leading the way – in that order.
We came to a rough total figure of 5 million video views.
Our conclusion? Video is critical.
(We probably could have figured this out without all the counting, huh?)

Hyper-targeted Acquisition
SHOPPING CENTRE
Shopping Centre
We’ve been working with one of Australia’s largest shopping centres over the past few years – specifically on helping them build a stronger database. With so much going on for this client on the marketing front, our sole job has been to take some heat off the internal marketing team and just focus on driving their paid social channels.
Through a series of targeted social advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, we’ve been able to help this client grow their database significantly – at a much lower cost-per-acquisition than their previous provider could achieve.
Not only are we building their database cost-effectively, we’ve also been able to provide this client with some fascinating insights on their target audience personas using Facebook’s powerful analytics tools.
