We're a Change Agency

for the technology industry

Proposition was founded in 2015 by Simon Walker who saw an opportunity to leave his role in financial services sales and change the way that businesses communicated with their customers.
 
Fast forward to 2021 and Proposition is a fast-growing marketing agency with strong capability in activating Marketing Development Funds for our clients. We've got deep networks across the technology ecosystem including vendors, distributors and resellers, and the capability to deliver a broad spectrum of marketing activity.

In addition to this capability, we offer advisory and execution services in Growth Strategy, Marketing, Sales and Demand Generation and Data & Automation.  

We maintain strong relationships with vendors such as Microsoft, IBM, HP, Cisco, Red Hat, Datto and Informatica, along with a wide range of distributors in our markets.

The chair of the Proposition board of directors is Greg Sharp, who has significant experience building technology businesses in New Zealand and Australia. He maintains a wide range of relationships in the global vendor ecosystem.

We're not just here for a good time, we're here for a long time. Which is why we believe in delivering growth with impact - growth that is not just good for your business and our business, but growth that has a meaningful impact on all our stakeholders.

Simon Walker

Founder & Strategy Director

Simon enjoys a variety of things in life, cricket, golf, salmon bagels, beers and of course a love for technology. Not in that order...well maybe in that order. His energy and leadership amongst this small, devoted team contributes to the amazing culture we have at Proposition. Simon drives the implementation of Proposition's growth strategy and works with our customers to plan and deliver growth activity through strategic relationships across the technology ecosystem. We hope you understood that because we didn't.
