Marketing That Helps Trade & Construction Businesses Grow
You’re great at building projects. We are great at building brands.
Running a trade or construction business takes time, skill, and hard work.
We are a Sunshine Coast-based construction marketing agency helping builders, tradies, and construction companies create a professional image, attract quality enquiries, and stay visible online.
Whether you’re a sole trader or running a growing team, we make marketing simple, practical, and easy to manage.

A Stronger Brand
Your Business With Confidence
We’re a full-service marketing agency on the Sunshine Coast, working with businesses across Queensland and Australia.
As a trusted construction marketing agency, we understand the challenges trade and construction businesses face. Most business owners focus on quoting, managing projects, leading teams, and keeping clients happy. Marketing often becomes an afterthought.
That’s where we help.
Our team provides practical marketing support that helps construction businesses build credibility, stay visible online, and generate new opportunities. From branding and websites to construction digital marketing and content creation, we bring everything together under one roof.
You went into business because you’re great at your trade, not because you wanted to become a marketer. Between running projects, managing staff, coordinating suppliers, and keeping clients happy, marketing is usually the first thing to slip.
So you keep doing what you do best, and we’ll do what we do best. A dedicated construction marketing agency gives you the branding, website, and visibility your business deserves, without you having to become an expert in it.
We help tradies and construction businesses look professional, get found online, and win better jobs. No fluff, just smart, effective marketing that works as hard as you do.
A strong brand helps create trust before you even speak to a potential client.
We create strong, memorable branding that reflects your values, from logos and colour schemes to truck signage and uniforms. This is about building trust before you even quote the job.
Professional design helps your business look organised and credible.
We create brochures, capability statements, business cards, site signage, tender documents, presentation materials, and marketing collateral that support both sales and business development.
Your website is often the first impression potential clients have of your business.
We build clean, simple websites that do exactly what they need to: make you look legit, show off your work, provide great user experience, and bring in enquiries. Mobile-friendly, easy to update, and built to perform, with no tech jargon.
Construction projects create valuable content.
We help showcase your work through strategic social media management across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. From completed projects and team updates to behind-the-scenes content, we keep your business visible and build trust with future clients.
When people search for trade and construction services, you want your business to be found.
Our SEO campaigns are tailored for local searches. Our Google Ads for tradies and construction businesses on the Sunshine Coast bring high-intent leads who are ready to book.
Professional content helps bring your projects to life.
Through Pepper Productions, we capture high-quality photography, before-and-after videos, drone footage, and walk-throughs. This footage is useful for websites, social media, and marketing campaigns.
Every trade and construction business is different.
That’s why we don’t apply a one-size-fits-all marketing strategy. We work closely with you to understand your goals, your services, and the type of work you want more of. From there, we create a marketing plan that aligns with your budget and priorities.
Our flexible approach allows your marketing activity to evolve as your business grows.
As a Sunshine Coast construction marketing agency, our goal is to make marketing straightforward, measurable, and easy to manage. We create a strategy tailored to your trade and construction business that supports long-term growth.
We’d love to hear about how we can help – fill out the form to get the ball rolling!

Marketing helps people find your business, understand your services, and trust your brand. It supports long-term growth and helps create a steady flow of enquiries.
This depends on your goals. Common services include website design, SEO, Google Ads, social media management, branding, and professional photography.
SEO helps your website appear higher in search results when people look for your services online, increasing your visibility and opportunities for enquiries.
No. While we're based on the Sunshine Coast, we work with trade and construction businesses across Queensland and Australia.
Marketing costs depend on what you need. We build flexible strategies that fit your budget, whether that’s a one-off website project or an ongoing campaign that includes SEO, social media, and ads.
Absolutely. Many of our clients start with no marketing at all. We keep the process simple and guide you every step of the way, so you can focus on your work while we handle the rest, especially if you need digital marketing for tradies who don’t have time.
We have been working with Chilli for 3+ months now on some projects. In the beginning, they took the time to understand our project goals and have done their upmost to bring that into reality. Their team is always a pleasure to deal with and we have found them to be understanding and flexible within reason. I couldn’t recommended them more.
EMT Medical Services engaged Chili Media to improve our Google Ads account, after a detailed consultation Fran took charge of our account and the phone hasn’t stop ringing. On her advice, EMT is now in the process of updating our website and SEO. All the staff at Chilli are ultimate professionals who are invested in improving our business. Di & I can’t thank them enough. They also do great coffee!!! We highly recommend Chilli.
This is an amazing company with highly skilled, well trained and organised staff. They found a solution for my business that I did not think was possible for the value they offer. Why hire a marketing person with just one skill set when Chilli can provide a range of services and solutions within a reasonable budget? The competitive advantage they have with their own production company- Pepper Productions makes for seamless execution for content creation. Great company – could not recommend them highly enough.
The team is very helpful and patient with our website project for our allied health clinic. Maddie and the web development team are very easy to work with. They always follow up with us. I definitely recommend them.
Kings Beach Surf Club’s experience with Chilli has been fantastic. We initially reached out to Chilli for our brand rollout, and from there we have been working together on several other incredible projects. Right from the first moment we met with Darren, it’s been a great experience. Darren’s and the team’s ideas right in our first conversation set us up to succeed. At Chilli, they always make you feel comfortable, simply by their knowledge and experience. They are always happy for us to come into the office, sometimes on really short notice. They were fantastic and we were comfortable from the minute we stepped in the door.
Chilli are an essential part of the marketing team at Pacific Lutheran College! We have been working with Darren Blake and his team for well over 10 years now. We have worked closely with Chilli to develop strategic marketing plans and direction. A key part of their roll has been in enhancing the community profile of the College. Over the years we have engaged with Chilli for a wide range of services including graphic design, web development, digital and print advertising, strategic development and branding. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Chilli into the future.
As a construction marketing agency, we help you build a stronger brand, get found online, and win more of the work you want, all under one roof.
