Kia ora, I’m Phil Robinson — I’ve spent the last decade running my own digital design business, working with good people, solving real problems, and helping businesses grow.
Now, I’m ready for the next chapter, one with purpose, a great team, and real impact.
10+ years leading sales, clients, and projects that deliver
Experience across digital, rural, and agri — not just talk
Straight-up communication, solid work ethic, and follow-through

I’ve spent the 14yrs running a design agency, driving sales, leading teams, managing clients, and together building stuff that actually works. Not just flashy marketing, but real tools and strategies that help businesses grow.
I’m pretty laid back, but I get the job done. I’m easy to deal with, I communicate well, and I don’t make things more complicated than they need to be.
Outside of work, husband, I’m a dad, I love sport and music, and I'm a firm believer that a bit of humour goes a long way — even in serious business.

I tend to pick up on things before they’re said. Whether it’s sensing when a client’s going cold, when a team member’s overwhelmed, or when a plan needs to shift — I usually feel it before it shows up in the data.
Some call it intuition, but for me it’s tactical empathy. I listen, I read the room, and I act early. That instinct has helped me build trust, head off problems, and lead with a steady hand, especially when things get messy. It's not just about gut feel; it’s about paying attention and giving a sh*t. (to be fair that can be a flaw at times too)

I tend to believe every challenge can be solved, even when it’s pushing sh*t uphill. It means I don’t give up easily (sometimes when I should), and I’ll often take on more than I need to because I believe there’s always a way through.
It keeps me going, keeps me hopeful… But I’m learning when to pause, zoom out, and let a few things go.
Find answers to our most frequently asked questions here.
Because I’ve done the hard yards. Over the past decade, I’ve run my own digital business, leading sales, managing clients, building our team, and wearing all the hats that come with it. It’s taught me how to solve problems quickly, communicate clearly, and focus on what actually drives results.
I’ve worked with clients across sectors, including rural and agri, and I understand the importance of showing up, backing people, and delivering value where it counts. I’ve led people, managed performance, and built strategies from the ground up — from pipeline through to customer success.
I’m not chasing a title. I’m looking for the right opportunity to contribute meaningfully, grow alongside a team, and be part of something that matters.
Oh, and Glass ceilings? I see them like break fencing, they’re just barriers waiting for a smarter solution.
From the outside looking in, Halter is one of the most exciting companies in New Zealand right now. You’re bold, innovative, and unapologetically ambitious, traits I strongly identify with. The chance to work with a world-class team, lead a high-performing group, and directly contribute to shaping the future of dairy farming in Canterbury? That ticks every box for me.
The opportunity to lead a region, take end-to-end ownership of the customer journey, and help drive meaningful impact on-farm through smart tech, well, that’s the kind of challenge I’ve been looking for.
Because the timing couldn’t be better. After years of helping other businesses grow - including many in the agri and rural space - I’m ready to take that experience and apply it to something bigger. I’ve always believed in work that makes a difference, and Halter is doing exactly that.
The chance to combine strategic sales leadership with real-world innovation in a sector I care deeply about is rare, and it’s exactly the kind of challenge I’m ready to commit to. I know how to lead from the front, and I know what it means to carry responsibility — for people, for performance, and for the bigger picture.
