Introducing Round Digital
ROUND launches ROUND Digital to support a growing need for digital strategy, design and technical services.
Agency veterans Paul Riss (creative director) and Mike Davidson (managing director) launched ROUND in 2018 to provide clients with access to better talent at lower costs. ROUND’s stated mission is to “build-up client brands while tearing down agency overhead”. The agency has been very successful in attracting a range of blue chip and start-up brands from a wide range of industries. Clients have included: RBC, Subaru, Boston Beer, Harlequin, Nickson, Go Auto, BGC Canada and Paybright, to name a few.
Based on a successful track-record over the last four years, the agency is now launching ROUND Digital to offer clients better talent and lower costs for digital strategy, design and technical services. ROUND Digital leverages the same operating model as ROUND, providing focused digital services on a project basis, and guaranteeing the top talent in the industry for less.
“Clients have experienced the direct benefits of our unique agency model and have encouraged us to expand our service-offering. Digital services are a natural extension of our core strategic and creative resources. Through our extensive network of industry partners, we can provide top digital talent at a fraction of the cost of traditional agencies”, according to Mike Davidson, Managing Director of ROUND.
ROUND has been offering digital services since shortly after the agency launched in 2018 but the extent of that work has grown exponentially over the years. Now is the time to focus their digital offering as the agency starts delivering full website builds from UX/UI through to development and delivery.
ROUND launched Go Auto’s new website (www.goauto.ca) this month after a yearlong engagement with the leading automotive retailer. Go Auto’s goal was to deliver a website that stands out from other automotive sites, “with a forward-thinking, data driven, progressive design with a solid foundation on user experience”. Go Auto chose round in an agency review that included top digital agencies in the US.
“We’ve been working with ROUND on advertising campaigns for a few years with great success. Our new website was a top priority for the company, and we undertook an extensive review of potential agencies. ROUND came out on top based on the quality of their talent and overall costs. We knew based on our experience working with them that they would work collaboratively with our in-house team and deliver exactly what they promised, without any surprises. That turned out to be true. The process went extremely smoothly, and we couldn’t be happier with the final product”, according to Duncan Cochrane, Vice-President of Marketing at Go Auto.
ROUND Digital has several other significant projects currently in development that it expects to launch in 2023.
