About BWD Media
Design, data & AI — made simple for Kiwi businesses. We’re a small, senior team with over two decades of experience across marketing, analytics, branding and front‑end development. Everything we deliver is crafted here in Aotearoa — no outsourcing, no shortcuts.
If we can’t explain it at a backyard BBQ, it’s not simple enough yet.
Our Memberships
Bwd Media is proud to be a recognised member of the Waikato Chamber of Commerce and the Marketing Association, reflecting our commitment to trusted standards, professionalism, and excellence.
Our Story
What began as a garage side‑hustle in Hamilton has grown into a trusted digital partner for SMEs across Aotearoa. Our roots keep us grounded in plain language and practical outcomes. We’re proud to say every pixel and line of code is produced by our Kiwi team right here in New Zealand. We don’t send your work offshore — we keep it homegrown, supporting local talent and ensuring true NZ‑made quality.
We’re intentionally small — just founder Vaibhav Sharma and one other senior specialist — but our reach extends far. When a project calls for it, we assemble a crew of interns and vetted experts. Think of us like a builder coordinating joiners, plumbers and electricians to deliver a complete home: we orchestrate designers, developers, marketers and analysts to deliver a cohesive digital solution. You always know who’s working on your project and why.
