TWENTY YEARS MAKING PHONES RING.
I'm Brendan Barnhill. I've been doing digital marketing since 2006: first inside some very big companies, then for my own clients, and now for local businesses one suburb at a time. Sent Your Way exists because the most useful thing I can do with the twentieth year is point it at one trade in one suburb at a time, for businesses whose own website stops two suburbs from home.
Where the twenty years went.
- 2006Digital productionWhere it started: building and shipping the work, not just briefing it.
- 2008 to 2013LendleaseFive years of digital marketing inside a serious company, with budgets that had to be justified.
- 2013 to 2017AramexFour years as global digital marketing manager (then Fastway Couriers), across Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa.
- 2017 to 2022Furnware GroupFive years leading digital. The discipline of proving what marketing actually earned.
- 2022XYD PTY LTDOut on my own: embedded digital marketing for Australian businesses, doing the work myself and signing my own name to it. No account managers, no juniors, no outsourcing.
- 2026Sent Your WayA network of local sites across five states, built for my own account first to prove the method on real suburbs before offering it to anyone. The same sites now send their enquiries to one business per trade per area, with their real numbers on the table.

How I work.
Five rules, stamped once so you can hold me to them.
What I will and won't tell you.
The ground rules of this whole site, stated once, here.
I will show you the site, the suburb and the real numbers, including the slow months. I will not promise a ranking, an enquiry count or a mention in an AI answer, because nobody honest can. What I promise is the work done properly, agreed in writing, and reviewed with you at 90 days with the real enquiry count on the table.
