Our Journey

In late 1996 The Digital Embassy began as many businesses do, in a spare bedroom. Then known as CDAA, within a year we had grown to occupy our first studio located in the fringes of Adelaide. By 1998 our business was incorporated due to continued growth and the acquisition of key accounts in the South Australian marketplace.

Our burgeoning evolution drove our expansion into new markets and saw us employ some of the industry’s best agency talent including web developers, marketers, web designers, business strategists, and project managers.

Under the leadership of our Managing Director, Colville Nette, the mission to provide clients with an experience they want to repeat and share was enacted. Our mission further established the outstanding reputation of our agency for providing value, driving award winning solutions in website and mobile application design, digital marketing, web development and web managed services.

Our continued success in South Australia saw the agency relaunched in 2013 as The Digital Embassy and our reputable services expanded nationwide.

The Digital Embassy today

Today our agency is located in a 350 sqm heritage listed production studio, Aston House, situated in heart of Adelaide in South Australia, a state committed to sustainable digital technologies and growth. Additionally, our Sydney and Melbourne satellite offices offer support to our many east coast customers who account for over 40% of our total business.

As part of our in house award winning web development capabilities in both PHP and Microsoft technologies, The Digital Embassy is a recognised specialist in WordPress and Microsoft.NET CMS platforms including Kentico, making us a certified Kentico Gold Partner in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. Our agency is a recognised Google Partner and our digital marketing personnel are qualified industry professionals and Google Certified practitioners.

A key advantage over many other digital agencies, and a personal source of pride, resides with our commitment to best digital practices. The Digital Embassy strives to maintain global certified standards of excellence and provides clients with a central point of access to a comprehensive mix of skilled resources and services. This has seen The Digital Embassy become one of only a few digital agencies in Australia who are recognised as pre-qualified ICT service providers for Government in SA, VIC, and NSW.

' ' The Departments partnership with The Digital Embassy materialised due to their proactive pitch to deliver a superior digital product to help service the needs of our users in the Small Business sector. Working closely with the team at The Digital Embassy provided us with the level of service we expect and require, and their professionalism, timekeeping and friendly demeanour made the whole process thoroughly rewarding. ' '

- Andi Hind – Digital Projects, The Department for Industry and Skills

' ' The Digital Embassy certainly lived by its motto of “leveraging the power of technology to optimise operational efficiencies and drive customer value”. With the support of The Digital Embassy, St.LukesHealth has improved its communications to our target audiences and assisted members and prospective members in their associated customer journey. Since our website refresh, we have had a significant uptake in traffic to the site, spurred along with the help of our content marketing strategy. ' '

- Rochelle Galloway, Communications and Member Engagement Coordinator

' ' The Digital Embassy delivered a site that met the goals and objectives of the business whilst developing a foundation that will further improve MIGA’s position to drive market share through growth and retention of its membership base in a digital environment. It is, however, not just the development of a website, it’s the open and honest process in which The Digital Embassy takes its client on defining and delivering an agreed digital strategy. ' '

- Peter Crescitelli, IT Project Manager

' ' When we needed to build and migrate over 60 sites within a challenging timeframe, we turned to our trusted partner The Digital Embassy to deliver. The Digital Embassy were able to successfully develop a multi-site framework, and subsequently migrate over 60 sites into the framework within the timeframes set by our business. Since going live the solution has made maintaining content across a large volume of sites substantially easier. We now have all of the hosting and maintenance for the sites taken care of by the Digital Embassy providing peace of mind for our sites which have high volumes of online patient bookings. ' '

- Anita Harvey, Head of Brand & Marketing

' ' Beston Global Food Company (BGFC) engaged The Digital Embassy for the redevelopment of its website which, at the time of engagement, did not adequately reflect the organisation nor gave the organisation the flexibility to self-manage in order to maximise its opportunities. The Digital Embassy delivered perfectly on the brief provided and the TDE team consulted closely with the BGFC team every step of the way to ensure a successful outcome - and within the first fortnight of the new website going live, enquiries increased and sales were generated as a direct result. ' '

- Maryanne Noon, General Manager, Communications and Marketing

' ' The Digital Embassy have been really helpful with setting up our AdWords campaigns, monitoring them and providing useful recommendations and insights.
