Our story
Ten years on the other side of the table.
No Agency is Scott and Natalie Jarvis — a husband-and-wife team from New Zealand.
In 2015 they founded Electric Confetti, a design and e-commerce business that grew into an international operation. Natalie is the designer and creative force. Scott handles commercial, operational and logistics.
Along the way the business outgrew a two-person setup and needed a proper team. They hired, they scaled, they made good calls and expensive ones.
And for a decade, they bought digital services rather than selling them: website developers, designers, agencies, SEO, paid marketing, social, e-commerce platforms, consultants, software, contractors and staff.
Some of it was superb and worth every cent. Some of it, honestly, wasn't.
The questions we kept asking
If you've run a business, you've asked at least three of these.
“What am I actually paying for?”
“Why does this website cost so much?”
“Why does a small change cost hundreds?”
“Who actually owns my website?”
“Why am I dependent on the developer who built it?”
“Why am I paying this retainer?”
“Why isn't my website showing up in Google?”
“Why has this taken months?”
“Why has the technology changed before we've even launched?”
“What is actually generating a return here?”
So we built the thing we wanted to buy.
The economics of digital development have genuinely changed. Modern tooling means a small, experienced team can produce work that used to require a floor of people and a procurement process.
We think businesses should feel that change in their invoice — not just the people sending it.
We're not claiming to know everything. We're claiming to have paid for enough of this to know what's worth paying for.
