About Cross Border Digital

We specialize in international SEO, GEO and Digital PR, and cross-border growth is all we do. Our team works from Auckland, Manila, Shenzhen and Beijing.

Our story

Growing brands online, across borders

The story of Cross Border Digital starts in 2008 when founders Charles Coxhead and Allen Qu worked together in Auckland. When they weren’t running digital campaigns for some of Australasia’s biggest online brands, they often talked about opportunities in the burgeoning online market in China.

Some years and many conversations later they teamed up again and, with Nick Hu, launched Cross Border Digital. Today our digital marketers, developers and strategists work from Auckland, Manila, Shenzhen and Beijing, helping businesses around the world reach customers outside their home country.
