Who are we?
We’re a sibling duo Sarah and Ross Powell also known as ‘The Business Tea’.
Simply put, we help businesses and entrepreneurs to maximise their opportunities online. Using our combined 20 years of industry experience, we give clarity, direction, and actionable strategies for showing up online in the best way possible to achieve your business goals.
We are your marketing expert partners; so regardless of whether you’re looking for strategic consultation, tactical advice or someone to do the heavy lifting for you – we’ve got you covered.
Why ‘The Business Tea’?
In many social groups ‘tea’ means ‘truth’. “What’s the tea?” and “Spill the tea” are commonly used phrases in today’s culture.
We wanted to create an identifiable brand that eliminates the unnecessary nonsense commonly associated with digital marketing. In our opinion this noise delays brands from achieving the results they desire which is why we are here to give you The Business Tea.
Our approach is relaxed, friendly and accountable – and we like to describe our calls with clients like ‘having a brew with a friend’.
Our Vision & Mission
Vision: “A society in which gatekeeping marketing and business secrets is a thing of the past and everybody has the resources and knowledge to make impactful change in their business”
Mission: To help give entrepreneurs and businesses who are seeking strategic, tactical or execution support a clear path to success.
