Tasch Turner

TASCH TURNER

Hey there! I’m Tasch Turner, and I’m all about blending creativity, strategy, and psychology to help businesses grow in smart, authentic ways. With over a decade of experience in digital marketing, sales, and brand strategy, I’m your go-to for transforming ideas into results—fast.

I’m a firm believer that copywriting is where the magic happens. It’s more than just words on a page—it's about understanding how people think and tapping into the psychology behind why they buy. Using my background in Psychology & Marketing, I create messaging that grabs attention, stirs emotion, and drives action. Whether it’s a sales funnel, email campaign, or web copy, I know exactly how to craft words that sell.

I'm Guy Turner, the data geek to Tasch’s creative genius. My journey into digital advertising and audience analytics began in 2005—long before Facebook business pages or the iPhone.

I’ve seen it all, from basic banner ads to AI-powered strategies, while staying focused on solving real business challenges through data. I’ve helped hundreds of businesses, from cosmetic clinics to industrial drones, optimise their sales, marketing, and operations for growth. If something’s keeping you up at night, let me tackle it—I’ll turn those headaches into growth opportunities!

Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD

Let me introduce you to Hollywood, the undisputed CEO of the Turner household – and no, we’re not talking about anyone on two legs. Hollywood is the four-legged princess with a touch of sass, a dash of diva, and a whole lot of heart. She’s got a talent for keeping everyone on their toes with her fussiness, a grumpy charm that’s all her own, and a hilariously expressive personality that could rival any A-lister.

Hollywood’s preferred spot? Right beside Mum at 3 a.m., loyally holding down the fort for those early-morning calls. She’s a cuddly companion with high standards and zero tolerance for anything less than royal treatment. Every day with Hollywood is filled with laughter, a bit of eye-rolling (she’s got quite the attitude), and more than a few moments of pure joy.

Dexter

DEXTER

Meet Dexter, the grumpy but lovable “accountant” of the Turner household – a seasoned pro with 14 years of loyal service under his collar. Dexter takes a laid-back approach these days, watching over everything from his favourite napping spot, keeping one eye open to make sure all’s running smoothly. After all, a lifetime of experience means he’s earned the right to relax, but rest assured he’s never off duty for long; he regularly checks in with a wise and watchful gaze, ensuring everyone’s staying on track.

With Dexter around, you get the perfect blend of seasoned wisdom, gentle grumpiness, and plenty of charm – a presence that makes the Turner home feel complete. Trust us, you’ll come to adore his antics and the understated warmth he brings to the team.
