It’s more important than ever for us to keep in contact with our clients, partners and the wider community at a time like this when we’re all physically distant. We also love talking about the latest developments, new tactics we’re experimenting with and trends we’re seeing in the wider industry in Digital Marketing, Web Design and Technology. We’re always talking (or Slacking each other) about these things so we have decided to launch a Podcast to share more of our discussions with you.
