Chicken Dinner is the new kid on the block – a performance marketing agency with a twist. Founded by ex‐Google Growth Manager Ben Drew, we challenge the traditional agency model by plugging AI‐enabled senior talent directly into our clients, stripping away the layers between strategy and execution. Specialising in Google Ads, Meta Ads, and SEO, our team combines deep platform expertise with commercial thinking and rapid execution to craft campaigns that ooze personality and actually deliver results. We're expanding fast across Australia, the US, and the UK, partnering with ambitious brands that are disillusioned by traditional agencies.
