Trusted by businesses since 2018
Your Manukau team is doing work that software should handle
How many hours does your team spend copying data between apps? Sending follow-up emails? Updating spreadsheets? That time adds up fast. And the errors from manual work cost even more.
We connect your apps and automate the repetitive stuff. Your Auckland team stops doing busywork and focuses on things that actually grow your business.
Simple automations or complex custom integrations. We figure out what you need and build it.
Manukau is a major commercial centre in southern Auckland, anchored by Westfield Manukau City and the Manukau Institute of Technology. Once a separate city, it now serves as the civic and retail heart of south Auckland. Businesses in Manukau cater to a large and diverse catchment area, making a strong web presence vital for reaching customers across the region.
Large-format retail, professional services, government agencies, and healthcare providers cluster around the town centre. The area also hosts significant industrial and warehousing operations.
Sound familiar?
These are the problems we fix for Auckland businesses every day.
Hours lost to data entry
Your team copies info between apps all day. CRM, spreadsheets, accounting. It should happen automatically.
Leads falling through cracks
No automated follow-up means hot leads go cold. You lose customers because someone forgot to send an email.
Mistakes from manual work
Typos, missed steps, wrong data. Manual processes cause errors that cost time and money to fix.
Can not scale without hiring
More business means more admin work. Without automation, you have to hire just to keep up.
Customers waiting too long
Inquiries sit in inboxes while your team handles other tasks. Competitors respond faster and win the business.
No clear picture of operations
Data in different places means no single source of truth. You make decisions on incomplete information.
What we automate for Manukau businesses
Everything from simple app connections to custom enterprise systems.
Zapier & Make Automation
Connect the apps you already use. When something happens in one, trigger actions in others. Simple or complex, we build it.
CRM Automation
New lead comes in, follow-up gets sent, task gets created, deal gets updated. All without anyone touching it.
Custom API Integrations
When standard tools will not do it, we build custom connections between your systems. Make them talk exactly how you need.
E-commerce Automation
Sync inventory, process orders, notify customers, update accounting. All running in the background while you sell.
Document & Data Automation
Generate proposals, invoices, and reports automatically. Pull data from anywhere and put it where you need it.
Notification & Alert Systems
Get notified when it matters. Sales, support tickets, low inventory. Right channel, right time, no noise.

What our clients say
Real reviews from the businesses we have built, ranked and run campaigns for.
“Our CPA dropped by 66% and lead quality increased 200-300%. Not only almost immediately, but consistent for the last few months.”
We’ve been working with Jason from Lucid Media and couldn’t recommend him more. He’s been a fast communicator, proactive, and always willing to help. Jason goes above and beyond with providing recommendations and support.
The websites he’s built and implemented for us have been excellent. He has captured our business perfectly and ensured that it is user friendly on both desktop/mobile. Fantastic service!
Jason and his team have been fantastic to work with from the initial website design and with the ongoing maintenance. They built us a really professional and well-designed site that represents our business well and it has been great having their continued support.
It is nice to know someone reliable can manage our website and make sure it stays ranking on Google. They are always responsive when we need updates or changes made, and their technical expertise gives us peace of mind.
“I’ve had around 10 websites developed over the years, and Jason is by far the best web developer I’ve ever worked with.”
I have been working with Jason for a year now and he is absolutely brilliant, honest and reliable. His client first approach has meant his work is always on time and to a high standard.
Most of all he actually gets the results he says he will.
Communication with him is always smooth and effortless. The website he created for me exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m genuinely impressed with both the design and the overall structure.
I’m looking forward to seeing what else the website can bring to me. If you’re thinking about building a website, Jason is definitely the person to go to.
“Absolutely great in delivering our e-commerce website. A great experience from start to finish, and even beyond.”
Working with Jason @ Lucid Media on our website was a great experience from start to finish. Jason brought our vision to life with creativity and professionalism; he understood what we were after, and this could be seen in the result.
The design is clean and modern, and the functionality is exactly what we needed. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and deadlines were always met. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier web design and development.
I had Lucid Media do some SEO work for us and I'm super impressed with the results. Jason also took the time to educate me deeply on the topic so I didn't feel like everything was smoke and mirrors like I have had with previous agencies.
Working with Lucid Media was an excellent experience from start to finish. They took the time to thoroughly analyse our previous website, understand our product, and align with our company goals before creating a new, professional layout and copy.
They truly went above and beyond, exceeding expectations at every step. I genuinely enjoyed the collaboration and look forward to working with them again in the future.
I had a call with Jason and was so impressed by how in-depth it was. He really listened, understood where I’m at, and gave me a clear action plan that I can actually use.
It was practical, straightforward, and made me feel confident moving forward with my ads. I couldn’t recommend working with him enough.
“We wanted to bring our idea for an app to life. He turned our ideas into reality.”
Lucid Media provides great service, quickly establishing and refining our website. They are always available to us when we need changes made.
Expert in SEO which is critical, our company now ranks at the top of Google searches, alongside our international suppliers but ahead of other agents around the world. We totally recommend Lucid as a highly competent and committed website developer and manager.
We had previously used another digital company for our website and digital marketing… things went downhill quickly, and our business suffered badly.
Within 30 minutes, we were on a Teams meeting discussing the problems we were facing. By 2am, Jason had sent us a detailed report… By 4pm, our Google Ads were back up and running.
Everything was turned around in less than 24 hours… seeing results that quickly was honestly incredible.
Jason and the team at Lucid Media have helped get our business back on solid ground… Young, full of energy, passionate, and genuinely driven to help businesses succeed.
Jason created our JunkBoss company website from start to finish. He always responded immediately, shared great ideas, and the final site looks spectacular!!
Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their website done.
“They took the time to understand our vision and business needs, translating them into a stunning, user-friendly website.”
Communication was insanely good, the work Jason provided me with was on a new level and blew me away. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you then he is your man.
From the start, Jason has taken the time to understand my business properly rather than just pushing a generic marketing setup. We’ve built out a new website, landing pages, CRM integration, Google Ads and Meta campaigns, and the attention to detail across everything has been excellent.
What stands out most is his responsiveness and willingness to adapt quickly. Any time we’ve needed changes or seen something in the data, he’s on it straight away and is always looking for ways to improve performance rather than just letting campaigns run.
The key difference is that he genuinely feels invested in the success of the business, not just running ads in the background.
“He was really acting in our best interests and went beyond what we were expecting him to achieve.”
When the finance company I manage, Fee Funders, changed ownership, Lucid Media took over all aspects of our IT and technology, and the impact has been outstanding. Jason quickly learned our legacy systems, implemented critical changes during the transition, and then led the development of our new software platform and reporting systems.
Jason is exceptional across all areas of technology, both front-end and back-end. He’s practical, solutions-focused, and genuinely understands business needs as well as the technical side.
Jason has been awesome to work with over the last few months. Whenever we've had any sort of issue with our website, he is extremely prompt in resolving it. Very professional and helpful, I highly recommend.
“Jason is exceptional, excellent communications, a highly motivated individual. Such rare traits - very happy with his development work for us!”
Jason has been awesome in the work he has done for us. He is fast, very responsive and professional. Would highly recommend.
The team at Lucid Media have provided excellent service while recently coming in to help position J-Tip It to where they need to be!
We are absolutely blown away with their quick responses, smooth customer service and their initiative to stay 10-steps ahead at all times. Results are immediate and the cost is undeniably justified.
If you want to be in safe hands, choose Lucid!
“The site looks clean, professional, and easy to use. He made the whole process super simple and stress-free.”
