Victorian-based digital agency NOW/media provides online marketing and web development and design services for companies looking to expand their online presence.
"Travis and I started NOW/media as we felt there was a growing divide between the top end of town digital agencies and smaller web development studios," co-founder Michael Hill says.
"The top end use cutting edge tools, while also being headcount heavy, while the small studios have a limited service set and client range. We have placed ourselves and our team in the middle of these opposing ends of the market."
Only two years old, Now/media already has 10 employees, who Hill says are a very close-knit team.
"Seeing the development of an internal culture has by far been the most rewarding part of starting the business. We have been lucky enough to form a very close team that work brilliantly together, as well as spending time together socially."
Hill credits his team as the key to his success.
"Due to the experience of our team we have a large breadth of knowledge, utilise the development tools and technologies, while keeping a low headcount, eliminating unnecessary costs to our clients."
MOST CHALLENGING PART OF STARTING YOUR BUSINESS:
"Selling a service (web development, digital/social marketing), without a folio of work completed by the company. We were able to talk of our previous experience within the industry, but clients (especially corporate and government) need positive proof that the entity they are meeting can and have produced the output they are selling."
