Anna Gervai

Social Media Business Mentor

You know those people you occasionally get the pleasure of meeting who leave you buzzing with inspiration and ideas? Anna is one of those unique individuals. She brings a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience of the practicalities of how to succeed in business harnessing the power of online.

From her roots in manufacturing and wholesale, which saw her travel extensively to suppliers around the globe, she then turned her attention to one of NZ’s iconic retail stores, taking it from near bankruptcy to profitable and thriving.

With a firm foundation in the physical world of business, she then ventured into the digital world, culminating in the foundation of Orchid, a full service digital agency that is behind the online success of some of New Zealand’s most well-known brands.

Over the years Anna has worked on the online requirements for companies including Contact Energy, JK Kids, Radius Pharmacy, Kermadec, Paw Justice, Finance Now, About Health, Scenic Circle Hotel Group, Sleepyhead and many other household names.

Despite this, Anna has never lost her passion for working with start-ups and SME’s as their Online Business Mentor. She demystifies how to harness the often overwhelming power of the online world, and makes it work effortlessly for measurable, tangible business returns.

Anna gives business owners and marketers the knowledge, proven techniques and advice to take confident control of their online efforts, making strategy sensible and straight-forward and implementation enjoyable.

“Anna is simply an expert in her field. Super professional, creative and insightful, she's assisted with the growth of my client base and also my knowledge of online marketing.”  Matt Martin, Director - Two Degrees of Separation Ltd

“I found Anna to be excellent - she really knows her stuff. What I value most about her now is the ongoing support, her expertise and sound tips and ideas she provides as needed. She has been great to partner with.”  Jasbindar Singh - SQ Consulting 

“It's been, and continues to be, a total pleasure working with Anna and the team at Orchid Web Design. What Anna doesn't know about SEO, SMO and all things web-related probably isn't worth knowing! She consistently provides high value hints, tips and guidance across a range of social media that can result in massive improvements to a site or person's connections, visibility and interactions. Plus, she has a terrific sense of humour, genuinely cares about her clients and is an absolute pleasure to be around. Highly recommended!!” Hannah Samuel
