Top 10 Blogs of 2017
“The Alpha Digital Vision Statement is ‘To be recognised as Australia’s most highly regarded digital agency by 2020‘ and we are well on our way!
From small beginnings 6 years ago, we are now breaking performance records for some of Australia’s largest digital advertisers. We have achieved a lot this year: moving into a fantastic new Brisbane office, growing our Sydney client base, expanding the team with highly talented new players, and strengthening our service offering with exciting new digital marketing platforms and strategies. The team has never felt so enthused and confident – we can’t wait to get stuck into 2018!
It feels like we have made it to Everest Base Camp and are now prepped and ready to make the ascent to the summit. But before we do, it’s that time to take stock, look back and reflect on what we learned this year.”
