The Village Square was founded in November 2008 by Cornelis Boertjens and Jake Pearce and is now one of the world’s leading Word of Mouth (WOM) Marketing Agencies.


This is what we are creating on a global scale:

“The Village Square is the world’s leading authority on WOM because we provide our clients with a highly effective WOM system which delivers highly measurable ROI. Client staff feels a greater sense of purpose and connection because of working with The Village Square and we impact the client company cultures positively, creating a greater sense of harmony between client companies and their customers.
Client company’s shareholders enjoy sustainable growth due to the massive increase in loyal customers and amazing free R&D. Customers feel part of a something bigger. They feel part of the clients’ team and a sense of belonging as they are part of a club, which makes them much more loyal to our clients’ branded products and/or branded services.”

Based on their years of combined knowledge of brand building, affiliate marketing and online systems, they developed the unique 5 step Village Square Referral Marketing System pictured below, which they started first rolling out in New Zealand in the form of a 1 day course in March 2009.
From this course they got more and more clients to work with on a consultancy basis. Because of their international business experience they decided to go overseas to The Netherlands to trial the system and check if it would work outside New Zealand as well. Convinced this would be a global phenomenon they decided to establish in The Netherlands and set up an office in Utrecht. They also decided to put a local team in New Zealand in place in order to be able to focus on global expansion and IP development. The Village Square also recently expanded in to Australia (Sydney) and is looking in to expanding in to Germany, the UK and the US in 2011.
