Australian Expansion for Digital Next

Australian Expansion for Digital Next

Following the acquisition of offices in Melbourne, the IT and digital hub of Australia, Digital Next has now further expanded the Australian team with the addition of experienced Global Consultant, James Bishop to compliment current Branch Manager Nathan Elly efforts and head up Business Development. James will also assist Nathan in the constant development and evolution of Digital Next Australia to further improve their service offering through the utilisation of an integrated approach to digital marketing, providing Australian clients with the expertise and leading edge methodology which has seen Digital Next UK client base expand to over 250 satisfied customers.

James Bishop commented, Having been part of the original Digital Next team since the companies inception over 5 years ago, it was a privilege and an honour to be invited back into the fold by Justin after a years consulting at another Digital Agency. With recent high profile client acquisitions and the appointment of staff across Marketing, Web Design and Creative, its pretty mind blowing to see how far the company has come over the last 12 months. I am relishing the opportunity to jointly spearhead the expansion of Digital Next Australia with Nathan and look forward to joining him at the new Melbourne office in the coming weeks.

As a full service digital agency, this key addition to the Digital Next team promises to deliver a positive impact on the business, as James wealth of experience and knowledge of digital marketing will provide much insight into Australian businesses spanning across a myriad of sectors. The unity of James and Nathan is destined to propel Digital Next operational functionality and blossom into one of Australia elite digital agencies through the provision of a multitude of digital marketing services at their disposal. With James core sales and marketing expertise, accompanying Nathan entrepreneurial and organisational prowess; sales in the first year are projected to exceed £300,000 with much longevity for future expansion.

Justin Blackhurst, Digital Next CEO states “”Its exciting times for our team in Melbourne. I have placed two of my most experienced colleagues over in Australia to harness the custom of businesses in Melbourne. The economy is fast growing with an average GDP growth of 3.4% over the past 30 years, and we have identified that Australian companies require a lot of assistance in the implementation of a more advanced integrated approach to digital marketing. I feel that we can bring our creativity, experience and professionalism to their market as a full service digital agency to offer an exceptional and innovative service that is currently unavailable in the Australian digital market. With the launch of our new website, serving as an invaluable sales tool, this will give our team out there a massive boost with enquiries expected to be flooding in over the next few months as the internet begins to evolve out there.

Prior to the launch of Digital Next Australia, the Australian market was diligently assessed by Justin and Nathan, in which they recognised the colossal amount of untapped potential available to improve the visibility of online businesses. It is with this in mind that Digital Next are able to supply a full service offering to Australian businesses that is currently non-existent and unprecedented in Australia. All existing digital agencies currently in operation seemingly offer a service range whereby each separate entity of digital marketing is supplied independently, and do not provide a fully integrated approach to encompass the overall picture of growing the brand, presence, visibility and online business.

Both Nathan and James have a proven track record of success at Digital Next and are equipped with the inside knowledge of how to scale up the business in any market across the world. To further reinforce this operation, Chris Tipper will offer them an abundance of support from Digital Next UK office operating within an international account executive role following his early success in the development of their new office located in Dublin, Ireland.

Digital Next Australia have launched their official new site which will replicated amongst our multiple territories across the globe.

Further recruitment is planned over the coming months where Digital Next plan to create job opportunities and subsequent training in the latest digital technologies for Melbourne locals, with an aim to grow the team significantly over the course of 2014.
