We’re a digital marketing and transformation agency first and foremost – but we’re also the culmination of a love of art and tech culture, with a native passion for data and business.

This love for modern technology and art underpins everything we do and is the reason we’re here.

We bring these passions together under one roof as a unifying strategic and creative force. A mash-up of creatives and tech geeks. It works. Data and creativity. Human and machine. Don’t think ‘left brain, right brain’ – think ‘one brain’.

The result? Greater market share with a deepening and scaling your your audience relationships. The delivery of immediate performance improvement, resulting in sustained, long-term business growth.

A successful digital marketing strategy requires a clear vision, a meticulously crafted plan and the capability of a specialist team that can bring it to life.

We work with globally ambitious clients in need of greater certainty in a rapidly changing digital landscape. We drive sustained, measured growth through multi-channel digital marketing campaigns across your owned, paid and earned media.

Leasexpress have been partnering with Clearwater since December 2025 and in that short period of time, they have got mountain of work, fixing our systematically website, sorting our SEO and getting our paid digital marketing efforts underway. Now they are in the process of building our new website which we are so far, very happy with. I have really enjoyed working with Zach as our Account Manager and his team. They are extremely responsive and knowledgeable, and I look forward to continuing to build our momentum with Clearwater.

Clearwater is an extension of our small team, with consistent support and a strong focus on performance. Zach, our account manager, has been great to work with, responsive, proactive, and brings thoughtful, data-driven insights. The team act quickly, are easy to work with, and are clearly invested in our success. The team is focused on our growth and making our ad spend as efficient as possible, strategically allocating budget to drive results. We’ve already seen strong growth and look forward to more positive results ahead. Highly recommend.

This is an agency worth every dollar spent. Initially, we were hesitant - not knowing what this sort of an agency provides. Essentially, what you are paying for is someone to do the work that emphasises your business. Not only do they manage this, but they manage it within your capabilities. Fortnightly catch ups mean that things are adjusted regularly to stay on track. They adjust ads, investigate down periods, liaise with other stakeholders, adjust the website and more. Our business is genuinely thriving and Clearwater, in particular, Zach, are a huge reason for this. The language used in every conversation is "we". Zach has become part of our business. He rides the high waves and corrects the low waves (as every business has!). They also have a no-obligation relationship, which means that you can opt out... which we haven't and wouldn't. We have been with them a year now and think that if Zach were to go anywhere, that we would be lost. Thanks for all of your hard work and for showing what it means to have our finances directed to a worthy resource!
