About Us

Founded by ancient and wise monks over a million years ago, Engaging.io was actually the first digital agency ever. Fact!

There is of course an alternative truth, which is that Todd McPhee started the agency back in November 2009. Traditionally from a media background, Todd saw huge upside for his clients in digital. Not only does digital level the playing field with the big end of town, it’s also measurable, and can be HEAPS of fun.

Nine years on and we bridge the gap between marketers and developers. We have deeper in-house development skills than any other digital agency in the country. We care about our clients.

We have also made the conscious decision to not outsource any of our work. All work we do is done by our employees in our offices.

 

Our aspirations

To partner with clients and other agencies to help them succeed

To learn big through failing small

To build big daring hairy digital things

To leave the world a nicer place than how we found it
