Meet Isaac – the guy who just can't sit still
Isaac Andrews is a serial entrepreneur with a knack for spotting unique opportunities others overlook. He’s all about solving real problems, genuinely improving lives, and building businesses that run themselves (or as close to it as possible). Before Isaac partnered with SK Digital, he’d already proven his entrepreneurial chops in the car hire business, but Isaac’s always hungry for the next big thing - and it never looks the same twice.
When disaster struck, Isaac stepped up
When devastating floods hit Hawke’s Bay in 2023, Isaac didn't just sympathise - he took action. Seeing families and businesses displaced, Isaac recognised an urgent need for temporary accommodation and workspace. With a sharp eye for practical solutions, he began importing high-quality yet affordable kitset cabins and outdoor offices from China.
Validating the idea (with a little SKD magic)
Isaac reached out to SK Digital to validate demand without massive upfront risk. We guided him in leveraging local community Facebook groups to gauge interest. The result? An overwhelming YES from the community.
Gizzy Cabins: Simple, effective, and locally trusted
Our job at SKD was straightforward: build a clean, intuitive website that made it super simple for locals to apply. Nothing flashy - just rock-solid credibility. We dialled in the application forms and user experience to keep it dead easy for both Isaac and his customers. Pairing the site with a Google Business Profile, Gizzy Cabins quickly became a trusted local solution.

The community response? HUGE.
Isaac's intuition paid off. The demand exploded, with 60+ cabins now hired out and inquiries still rolling in. SKD continues to fine-tune the website, terms, and processes to keep things smooth as silk.
But Isaac wasn't done yet...
Entrepreneurs like Isaac never rest. His next big idea arrived straight from Shark Tank - a cutting-edge vending machine business called The Daily Blend, which makes fresh fruit smoothies and protein shakes on demand. Imagine the possibilities: gyms, airports, universities, corporate offices, food courts - the potential demand was clear. Isaac partnered with some other savvy entrepreneurs to bring this exciting venture to life.
SKD answers the holiday hotline
When Isaac called SKD founder Shaun - who happened to be on his first holiday in years - the idea was electric. Even while pacing his accommodation in Wanaka, Shaun was hooked. Both Shaun and Isaac immediately recognised the first-mover advantage, and SKD wasted zero time.
Fast, flashy, and first to market
Isaac quickly secured early interest by pounding the pavement and sparking up conversations. SKD moved at warp speed, creating eye-catching graphics for the vending machines - designs that would literally stop people in their tracks.
Rapid-fire digital presence
The urgency was real - "Shaun, we need that website now." And we got it done with a sharp, single-page landing site that gave The Daily Blend instant online credibility and a launchpad for growth.

Now? Sky’s the limit.
Today, The Daily Blend is primed for rapid expansion, while Gizzy Cabins continues humming along, providing essential services and reliable cash flow. SKD thrives on supporting entrepreneurs like Isaac, combining agile digital solutions with no-BS strategic advice.
Isaac, you legend - let’s keep these businesses pumping!
