Founded in 2009, based in Melbourne and Brisbane, servicing across Aus/NZ.

Fishr

Fishr is a SaaS product that builds a complete, unique brand strategy for any business, at any stage, from a single founder interview — covering brand, content guidelines, competitors, and growth objectives. Built specifically to help agencies deliver more value to their client base without hiring additional staff or contractors. Useful for branding agencies, digital marketing companies, PR firms, and web development companies alike — anywhere an agency needs a fast, accurate read on a client’s brand.

Platform implementation — a licensed SaaS tool agencies use directly with their own clients.

Agencies that struggle to extract clear information about a client’s content, brand, goals, and brand assets — and want to acquire that knowledge quickly and accurately from a single client interview, rather than weeks of discovery.

Licence-based model. Fishr is open to structuring specific terms with Crittiks to deliver added value across the Crittiks agency list.

Evoren Media

Evoren Media helps digital agencies improve their clients’ visibility in AI-generated search results — across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. They deliver done-for-you AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) audits, scoring a brand’s AI visibility out of 100, identifying specific gaps, and delivering a prioritised action plan. Agencies share client URLs, receive branded reports within 48 hours, and pass results directly to their own clients — no technical knowledge or extra workload required on the agency’s side. Founded in 2026 by Afolabi Somoye, a senior marketing and account management professional with experience across global agency networks including Zenith and Havas.

AI Search Visibility Audit (AEO and GEO) — delivered as a done-for-you managed service, ongoing monthly retainer.

A growth-minded digital agency with an existing client base who wants to add AI search visibility as a value-add service — understands where AI search is heading, but lacks the internal capability to audit or act on it themselves.

Not a fit for: agencies looking for a self-serve tool, or expecting immediate large-scale results without a structured onboarding process.

Project-based and monthly retainer, typically starting from $2,500. Bespoke pricing for custom and enterprise projects.

Melbourne Fashion Hub saw an immediate improvement in organic search visibility within one week of implementing the AI search recommendations from their Evoren audit.
