WHO WE WORK WITH

The franchise networks we grow

An emerging brand with a handful of sites and a national system with hundreds need different plans. We start with your marketing fund, your franchisees and how customers find each location, then build the structure around them.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Franchise recruitment

New franchisees, not just new customers

Growing the network means finding the right people to run it. We run franchisee recruitment campaigns that qualify enquiries on capital and fit, then track them through to signed agreements.

Home services networks

Jobs booked for every territory

Cleaning, lawn care, pest and trade franchises live on local search. We run Google Ads and local SEO by territory, so jobs reach the right franchisee and nobody pays for leads outside their area.

Health and care groups

Multi-site clinics with one clear voice

Dental, physio, vet and allied health groups need local bookings within strict advertising rules. We keep every clinic visible, with claims and creative controlled centrally.

Retail and fitness brands

Openings and promotions that land locally

New store openings, gym pre-sales and national promotions need local reach fast. We plan launch campaigns by catchment and keep national offers consistent across every site.

PROBLEMS AND FIXES

The problems we see. The Sneaky fixes we deliver.

Franchisors and network marketing managers tell us where growth is stuck. These are the problems we fix most often.

Sound familiar? Let's talk

Metro stores soak up the budget

THE FIX

We split spend by territory and set rules for each location, so regional franchisees get fair reach and the marketing fund is spent where it is owed.

Franchisees run their own ads off brand

THE FIX

We give franchisees approved local ads built from national creative, so they get local activity without drifting on brand, offers or claims.

Our ad accounts compete with each other

THE FIX

We rebuild accounts into one clean structure with clear territories, so locations stop bidding against each other for the same customer.

Franchisees ask where their levy goes

THE FIX

Each franchisee gets reporting for their own location, showing spend, enquiries and sales, so conversations about the marketing fund are based on facts.

Creative can't keep up with every site

THE FIX

Our team makes national creative with local versions for each site, suburb and offer, so every location has fresh ads without a new brief each time.

Google profiles are a mess across the network

THE FIX

We clean up every Google Business Profile, fix duplicate and outdated listings, and keep hours, photos and posts managed from one place.

How we grow franchise groups brands

How we grow a franchise network

  1. 01

    Map the network

    We start with territories, the marketing fund, franchisee targets and how customers find each site, so the plan reflects how the network makes money.

  2. 02

    One structure, clean tracking

    Ad accounts, tracking and Google profiles are set up so every lead and sale is tied to the right location.

  3. 03

    National brand, local ads

    We make national campaigns with local versions for every site, so the brand stays consistent while each franchisee gets activity in their area.

  4. 04

    Report and rebalance

    Head office and franchisees see results by location, and budget moves to the territories and offers that perform.

CHANNELS

Channels that grow every location

FAQ

Franchise marketing questions

How do you split the marketing fund fairly across franchisees?

We agree rules with head office, usually by territory, population or contribution, then set budgets for each location to match. Reporting shows each franchisee what was spent in their area.

Can franchisees still run their own local ads?

Yes, within guardrails. We give them approved templates and offers, or run local ads for them, so local activity never strays from the brand.

Do you work with emerging franchise brands or only large networks?

Both. Emerging brands need a structure that will scale, and national systems often need to clean up what has grown over time. The approach is the same, the scale differs.

Can you manage Google Business Profiles for every location?

Yes. We claim, clean up and manage profiles across the network, keep details consistent and connect them to local campaigns so each site shows up in map searches.

What does a franchise network usually invest in media?

Most franchise networks we work with invest $10K or more a month in media across the network. We set the national and local split from your fund and number of locations.

Do you help franchisors find new franchisees too?

Yes. Franchise recruitment runs as a separate campaign with its own audiences, tracking and rules. It reaches people with the capital and fit to own a site and tracks them to signed agreements.

A note from our founders
April and Brendan Ford, co-founders
April & Brendan FordCo-founders

Marketing should act like part of your commercial engine. Not a cost centre.

We started Sneaky because we were tired of watching great brands miss their potential. Campaigns that didn't convert. Data nobody tracked. Junior advice, and service that left people chasing.

So we built the agency we would want to hire. A senior team on every account, no hand-offs, and every decision measured against profit, not platforms. We'll speak your language.
