The agency is revolutionising the way inwhich start-up businesses grow through a unique approach to digital marketing. Jan21414 Disrupt Digital believes in doing things differently. It is a digital marketing agency that has helped to scale numerous businesses across a wide range of industries, utilising the company’s specialisms in video content, influencer marketing and social media strategy management, and use of technology such as AI to support growth efforts. Start-ups generally have a small team with limited time and resources. However, those teams can really focus on the important stuff, including their own clients, while Disrupt Digital uses smart technology to give them the boost they need. The agency is constantly evolving new strategies that are fast, effective and offer a real return on investment, and believes that technology is the main driver in reaching any type of customer base; those companies who utilise the most innovative technology will reach the largest audience. Most start-ups have the disadvantage of having large gaps in their expertise, and they are therefore often unable to scale rapidly, while also dealing with the challenge of high expectations of investors in the current digital landscape. This is where Disrupt Digital comes in. Specialising in scaling high-potential start-ups, Disrupt Digital identifies companies that are looking to grow past their first round of fundraising, satisfy their current investors and reach the next stage, and consequently enables them to build scalable growth models based on AI and other marketing technologies. Thanks to Disrupt Digital, a small, inexperienced team with a great idea can grow faster than their established competitors who have the benefit of larger teams and more resources. This gains the attention and excitement of investors when they see rapid growth, prompting them to provide large scale funding that will take the start-up business to the next level. Founders Clare Kennedy and David Costello have over 18 years of digital marketing experience between them and have worked in some of the most noteworthy and disruptive start-ups in Europe, with clients including Hendrick’s Gin, Bold Awards, Indiez and EventsFrame. They are Directors of Silicon Valley, Founder Institute and Female Founders, and have also mentored for a range of start-up organisations, which has allowed them to support and connect with the start-up ecosystem. Using a combination of original approaches to reshape marketing for the most cutting-edge sectors of the tech industry, Disrupt Digital is bringing some ground-breaking projects into prominence. From offering support in creating the ideal marketing team for each start-up through the agency’s network of mentors and advisors, to creating long-term relationships with some of the best innovators in the market and creating a support network among clients, Disrupt Digital is making valuable contributions to further growth. The agency also has access to a wide range of resources from specialists that cover all the key aspects of digital marketing, from influencers to content creation. Above all, the most important way for a business to grow its audience is by engaging with them through their brand’s story, getting their message out to the right people and by proving that they produce great content. Disrupt Digital exists to give great creators the boost they need to tell their story and spread the word about their brands, in order to achieve significant and sustainable success.
