- About
From digital agency to small-business media group.
Syndeo began as a hands-on digital agency for local businesses. Today it's the parent company behind a growing family of brands that teach, equip and support micro and small business owners.
We stopped building one website at a time.
For years, Syndeo Media built websites, ran digital marketing and helped local businesses get online one by one. Working with all those owners taught us something: the same problems came up again and again.
Instead of solving them for one client at a time, we started building brands that solve them for thousands of businesses at once.
- Where it started
Syndeo Media, the agency
Web design, digital marketing and business development for small and local businesses around Tauranga, New Zealand.
- Teaching
Stewart Gauld
Lessons from client work became YouTube tutorials, sponsored videos and a newsletter for small business owners.
- Building
Sheetify CRM & Receipts2sheets
Affordable Google Sheets toolkits and an AI receipt scanner, now used by more than 2,000 businesses.
- Expanding
DeskFit
An AI movement app that keeps desk workers healthy, built in New Zealand.
- Today
Syndeo Media Group
One parent company that owns and manages every brand, with a single mission behind them.
The principles behind every brand.
Small is mighty
Micro and small businesses drive the economy. They deserve tools made for them, not watered-down enterprise software.
Fair pricing
Pay once where we can and keep the cost low where we can't. Nobody should need a subscription audit.
Teach, then build
We teach what we know, listen to the questions, and build products that answer them.
People first
Healthy owners build healthy businesses. Wellbeing is part of the mission, not an afterthought.
Our mission is simple: give every small business owner the skills, tools and energy to thrive in a digital world.
Syndeo Media Group is led by Stewart Gauld, an educator and entrepreneur who has spent more than seven years helping small and local businesses with their digital activities. Stewart is also the face of the group's education brand on YouTube.
Questions we get asked.
Does Syndeo still offer web design and digital marketing services?
No. Syndeo Media no longer operates as an agency. If you're looking to learn how to build your own website or market your business, Stewart Gauld's YouTube channel is the best place to start.
What does Syndeo Media Group actually do?
We are the parent company that owns and manages a family of brands (Stewart Gauld, DeskFit, Sheetify CRM and Receipts2sheets), all focused on providing education, services and products to micro and small businesses.
I need support with a product. Who do I contact?
Each brand runs its own support. Visit the brand's website (linked on each brand page) for the fastest help. For anything else, use our contact form.
Can I partner with, sponsor or collaborate with one of your brands?
Yes, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch through the contact page and tell us which brand you're interested in.
