About The Bearded Marketer

Anthony Holmes — Cairns-based consultant.

Anthony has spent years helping Cairns and regional business owners cut through digital marketing noise. The Bearded Marketer started as a way to put a face and a name to the strategy — instead of a logo and a sales pitch.

Working with Localsearch

Anthony works with Localsearch as an authorised contractor. Localsearch is one of Australia's most established digital marketing product ecosystems — websites, SEO, search marketing, listings and reviews under one roof. The Bearded Marketer is the local consultant brand that sits in front of that ecosystem, helping owners understand their options and pick what genuinely fits.

Important: The Bearded Marketer isn't Localsearch. It doesn't own Localsearch. It isn't a competitor either. Think of Anthony as the local strategist on your side of the table, with a serious national engine quietly powering the broader solutions.
