ANGELA Ward from Torquay-based digital marketing agency KBB Digital says she and her two colleagues Jake Crone and Justine Kelly share an equal passion for helping small businesses.<\/p>\n

The team of three relocated their office from Geelong to Torquay in a move to assist the growing number of businesses on the Surf Coast.<\/p>\n

Angela and Justine both live in the area, while Jake (who has been with the company since it started) resides in Armstrong Creek.<\/p>\n

Specialising in website development, search engine optimisation (SEO), social media management and Google advertising for small to medium sized businesses, the KBB Digital team boast years of combined experience in the space.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s our strength as a team. Jake\u2019s got the technical knowledge, and then I bring that marketing, customer focus feel, and I understand branding,\u201d said Angela.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustine has that more analytical side to look at change management. We bring that whole package to the table \u2013 it\u2019s not just about building a website or doing an ad.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur passion equally is that we love helping small business, and digital marketing can be quite cost prohibitive for small business because they don\u2019t all have the budget for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to be a part of the community we live in and give back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jake said the landscape of digital marketing has undergone significant changes since the brand was founded, particularly the number of agencies that are now around.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started, I could name maybe five or six digital marketing companies that were notable in Geelong. There\u2019s probably close to 100 now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone in Torquay is so locally focussed. They don\u2019t want to go to a Melbourne company or a big company, they want a small team they can meet face to face and we can offer that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded by media identity David Koch, KBB Digital has been servicing the community for about eight years.<\/p>\n

Justine said what separates KBB from other digital marketing agencies was its personalised approach with clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re really good at is that we like to chat and in the digital marketing space that can be quite hard to get,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s one our strengths that we\u2019ve all got is that we can have those conversations rather than just emailing back and forth. People like when things are personal, and digital can be very impersonal.\u201d<\/p>\n

KBB Digital is located on the upper level of Torquay Merchant (1\/28A Baines Crescent, Torquay).<\/p>\n
