A New Digital Team is Born

So in case you haven't heard the news, SuggestionBox.com had layoffs about 1 month ago. As with the other 200,000 people that were laid off in the tech space, we all searched for our new path. Well my path has led me to partnering up with Adam Levenson, former Product Marketing Manager at SB. Working with Adam over the past year has shown to be very positive in that we complement each others skill-sets and don't mind rolling up our sleeves to get it done, whatever that may be.


So Digital Operative was born. You could call us a boutique digital agency focused on digital strategies for marketing and technology. Our focus will be helping companies engage their customers and have them participate, whether that be in an online community, guerrilla marketing campaign, social app or just improve their overall user experience on their website. We both have work experience across many areas from UI design to PHP development to SEO to Go-to-Market Planning.

What you get when you work with us is a supercharged, agile team that can see the big picture, focus on getting the little wins and create some buzz around what you're doing. At the end of the day we're data guys, we love measuring ROI, making decisions based on analytics and having the data to support and shifts in strategy.

So if you're a top 50 interactive agency, need better customer engagement for your website or need to drive awareness and conversions via digital marketing; go to www.DigitalOperative.com and contact us.

thank you for subscribing to this blog and I'll also be blogging at the Digital Marketing blog.
