What our clients say

I've worked with Robin, Ari, Zirthang and the team at Half Eaten Donut for more than 13 years across Sydney Contemporary, Good Food & Wine Shows, The Fitness Show and more. They manage our META campaigns and consistently help us hit ticket sales targets, even in challenging market conditions. We joke that hiring a digital agency is like a good car mechanic — you trust them to do the job you can't do yourself. With Half Eaten Donut, you totally can.

The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and Half Eaten Donut have worked together year-round for several years, including six major international campaigns. We value their deep understanding of the arts, ticketed events, and digital marketing. The team are always able to work through complex projects with flexibility and strategic thinking to deliver the best results for the Museum.

Their track record in event marketing, combined with a data-led, audience-first approach, made them the right fit to help drive both awareness and ticket sales for SXSW Sydney.

We were super impressed with the results the Half Eaten Donut team were able to generate during our campaign! They were easy to deal with, knowledgeable, quick to respond and most importantly nimble in their ability to optimise the program and take advantage of real-time opportunities. Would highly recommend working with them across any of your digital projects. They smashed the targets and we are excited to work with them on our future projects!

It was great working with Half Eaten Donut on Sydney Contemporary. They were proactive and responsive and know the event space extremely well. They were available for any last-minute requests at any time before, during and after the event. The results from the digital campaign were also extremely good and we exceeded our ticket target. Overall Sydney Contemporary was a very successful event and we couldn't of achieved the results we did without the team from Half Eaten Donut!

We worked with Half Eaten Donut for Art Central Hong Kong and we are super thrilled with the result. The team from Half Eaten Donut were responsive and available throughout the duration of the campaign. They fully understand the intense nature of the event space and offered advice and solutions to help us deliver an outstanding result. Thanks!

We were recommended Half Eaten Donut from a colleague and we're glad we invested with them for our launch event. From strategy planning to weekly WIPs and daily emails from me, there was never a task too small for the team at HED and no question too unimportant to answer. They're great to work with and an incredibly agile team.

I couldn't be more impressed with Half Eaten Donut. The strategy they put together for our show allowed for quick, targeted wins as well as long term goals and the results they achieved in one campaign far exceeded our expectations. They allowed us to expand our digital reach and campaign activity and introduced us to new marketing channels that will be important components for future show campaigns.

This is the second year running that we've worked with Half Eaten Donut. Unlike other digital agencies who set up your campaigns and then just let them run in the background, the team at Half Eaten Donut truly care! They set up your campaigns and continually monitor and optimise them to ensure your campaigns are performing at their best, to see a return! We have full trust with our campaigns in Half Eaten Donut's hands and are glad to be a continuous client!

We have worked with Half Eaten Donut for over 3 years and we are consistently thrilled with the results they generate as well as their support and service throughout the campaign. Highly recommended!

Half Eaten Donut delivered an incredibly targeted campaign that drove real exhibitor leads — not just enquiries. The quality of the pipeline they generated exceeded our expectations.

We needed a partner who understood both the international market dynamics and the speed required to launch a campaign for a debut art fair. HED delivered on both counts.

The exhibitor recruitment results were exceptional. The cost-per-lead was far below what we'd seen with previous agencies, and the conversion quality was significantly higher.

Working with Half Eaten Donut transformed how we approach digital marketing for our events. Their strategic thinking combined with fast execution is genuinely different from any agency we've used before.

We brought them in late in the campaign cycle and they still managed to deliver results that exceeded our attendance targets. Their speed and strategic clarity under pressure is impressive.
