Established website development company Switch Apps has merged with a leading digital marketing consultancy, Blank Page, to form Jersey’s most progressive full service digital agency, Switch Digital.

The merger includes a rebrand and three additions to the Switch Digital team. The new agency will now provide all aspects of digital marketing, website development, training and consultancy.

Managing Director, Damon Eastwood says, “We have been working closely with Blank Page for over a year now on multiple large scale digital projects that have required an integrated approach to the website development, search engine optimization and social media marketing. The merger is a logical progression for both businesses and allows our clients the benefit of dealing with one agency for all aspects of digital marketing and technology.”

The Switch Digital team is a combination of experts from a range of disciplines and industries and Damon adds, “There are a number of local agencies offering website development and bolt-on digital services, but very few offer an integrated, strategic view that is supported by a combination of technological and specialist marketing expertise.”

Justin Thorne, Digital Marketing Director, adds, “The trend is for larger organisations to recruit in-house digital expertise, certainly in terms of search engine marketing and social media. Our aim is to provide training and consultancy for in-house digital marketers and provide an outsourced solution for smaller and medium sized businesses.”

The new business will continue to operate from Switch’s offices at Spectrum which now features a refurbished, fully equipped training room. The new Switch Digital brand and portfolio of services are showcased utilizing responsive website technology at www.switchdigitalagency.com – the new technology enables websites to adapt depending on the device used to access the site, including optimized layouts for iPads, smartphones and larger desktop screens.

Commenting on the newly expanded range of services Damon continues, “Website development is still at the core of our business but in addition we can now help clients drive traffic to their sites from various digital channels while advising them on meaningful metrics and increasing return on investment.”
