Today is a milestone day as it marks the moment a vision for a new kind of digital agency has become reality: say hello to Dig & Dig.
A digital and social agency, Dig & Dig is The PHA Group’s first international agency which is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.
The launch of Dig & Dig follows 18 months of research and planning and marks a significant moment for The PHA Group. We couldn’t be prouder of the Dig & Dig brand which will be the first of many new agency brands to be a part of the PHA Group.
This is a significant moment in PHA’s growth; we are delighted to become a global group with expert, local networks and look forward to the opportunities that will bring.
The Dig & Dig team offer services including organic and paid social, influencer marketing, Digital PR, SEO, PPC and content marketing.
The agency is headed up by a Boston-based team of Matt Raven, Executive Vice President who will lead Dig & Dig’s day-to-day operations and will be supported by Desiree Dileso, Vice President, Head of Paid Media. Both will report to PHA’s joint Group MDs Shelley Frosdick and Stuart Skinner.
We are excited to launch with a roster of rapidly growing clients including Workstorm – a leading secure work collaboration platform for the world’s most operationally complex brands. The programs are serviced with staff from across the group’s UK and US offices working collaboratively.
