Tom Griffiths’s Experience

Head of Business Development

Push Digital

(Marketing and Advertising industry)

August 2009 — Present (5 months)

Because we all need to Push Digital.

Push Digital is a proven partnership of creative excellence and technical wizardry. Our thirty-strong team of creatives, coders, project managers and planners are all fascinated by what can be achieved on the web.

We build powerful websites, create social media campaigns, write blogs for popular supermarket brands and get online businesses to number one in Google for competitive search terms.

In fact, we could probably do lots of things for your business. But first we need to know where you are and where you want to be. So perhaps you could tell us which of the following applies to you:

(a) I need a swish website that people will love
(b) I've got a swish website but need more visitors
(c) I've got lots of visitors but very few of them become customers
(d) I have customers but I want them to come back more often
(e) I'm nodding my head to all of the above
(f) I'm shaking my head to all of the above
(g) I am a digital agency and I'm snooping around the competition
