Our Framework for High-Performance Digital Marketing
The 5-step framework is recommended by Industry Associations and Governments.
The journey towards our grand vision
We realised our goal to empower a million businesses to accelerate their growth and become world class, was not going to be easy. With over a million businesses closing down in the last 5 years for various reasons, we knew we needed to create mass awareness of the issues faced by SMEs disrupted by digital.
Our first initiative was to start Bizruption, an event which would become the vehicle to create awareness and get the involvement of Federal, State and Local Government, Industry Associations, and big business to support small to mid-sized business owners. This set the stage for subsequent Bizruption events in Sydney, Melbourne to Adelaide which was attended by hundreds of SMEs and stakeholders.
We’ve published research of over 8,000 SMEs in 2014, and followed up in 2017, 2019 and 2022 focusing on their issues with digital disruption and transitioning to digital. We’ve shared these with key figures in the Federal and State Parliament so they can take note of and support SMEs in endeavors of digital and others.
Equipped with research, experience and using over 15 years of IP, we built the best-in-class digitisation solutions for SMEs to transition from traditional business to becoming digitally successful businesses.
In March 2022
We witnessed the biggest win in our journey to achieve our vision, of helping businesses overcome digital disruption when the government announced the allocation of $1 billion for digital adoption with a specific focus on small to mid-sized businesses.
