You've hit a ceiling in the Hunter or Coast market and can't figure out how to break through to the next level of your trade business.

Case studies
Four snapshots from the last six months of RNT Media clients across Newcastle and the Hunter.
Fernleigh partnered with RNT Media to fill their pipeline with qualified custom-build leads across Newcastle & the Hunter. In six months they signed 3 full home builds and are currently in talks with 5+ more.
We launched a full lead-gen system for Purr-fect Roofing — creative, qualification, and follow-up. In under 8 weeks they generated $90K in new roofing work from 36 qualified leads and 4 booked jobs.
A combined ad + content play for Morisset Pools drove $200K+ in signed pool projects across Lake Macquarie in two months — 65 qualified leads and 5 booked jobs from a content engine that keeps compounding.
Kowalczyk & Co came to us for consistent local demand. Within two months of running ads with RNT Media, they generated $120K worth of work from 29 qualified leads and 6 booked jobs — and the pipeline is still growing.

Meet the founder
I'm Tobias Hatcher, founder of RNT Media. Based in Newcastle, I picked up a camera in 2021.
I quickly saw there was a gap in the market for trade businesses — they were producing quality work but weren't being seen online. So I invested in equipment to help trade businesses scale and build the lead flow they've dreamed about.
Every system we run is designed around the way real locals search, compare, and book. No offshore teams, no cookie-cutter playbooks — just strategy, discipline, and execution that keeps your phone ringing with qualified local leads.
