Getting involved in Digital

Over the last 15 years I’ve been a web designer, web developer, digital account manager and owner of a digital company. I truly love what I do and couldn’t think of anything I would like to do more than what I do. I love working with our clients to innovate and create to fulfil their digital marketing needs.

A career in digital is just so much fun. Below we’ve put together our top 5 reasons why we love it:

1. Our industry is forever moving forward, progressing and evolving.
