Digital is the biggest growth area across the marketing, media, communications and creative sectors. With this growth has come massive staffing pressures. This has resulted in a shift towards the use of freelance consultants to provide specialist skills and ease work pressures.

Online, iTV, eCRM and mobile are now central to how businesses communicate with each other and the consumer. 63% of the UK population are online. Every corporate has a website and digital agencies that build and market them are big business. Bloggs, virals, chatrooms or email are a part of almost every PR campaign. Online advertising is the fastest growing media with spend up 40.3% (Yr on Yr) in the first half of 2006* taking a whopping 10.5% of all advertising spend.

Mobile marketing is increasingly seen as one of the best ways to get to those tough to reach demographics. And then there is SEARCH...who doesn't use it to promote their products or find the cheapest flight!

In short the business of digital is expanding at a phenomenal rate. Against this backdrop of huge growth in the sector, demand is high for what is both the biggest asset and in the shortest supply - good people. Which is where we come in!
