Welcome to the official launch of Zimple Digital!

Business
NEW-IMAGES Blogs zimple-digital-welcome-banner
 For the last few months we’ve been crafting not only a new website, but a new company. While we will always hold the roots of Zimple close to us (the journey is as important as the outcome, after all), we’ve been laser-focused on our future within the company, and the services we offer clients. 

So, who is Zimple Digital?

We are the digital agency dedicated to providing a refined, superior process, service and result to businesses who feel they’re not delivering the best version of themselves to their digital audience. 

Through creative design, innovative web development and data-driven digital marketing strategy we’re bringing to the table a holistic service that delivers real, tangible outcomes. 

We noticed a gap in the market for this kind of approach, so we thought about what we’d want as a business. It really came down to one main factor: we’d want an agency that would care about our business as much as we do. 

That’s what we’re here for; delivering a fully transparent experience, with processes, highly skilled staff and a focus on making your business an industry leader in the digital space, turning promises into measurable results, beyond expectation.  

The digital landscape is enduring rapid change. It’s an exciting time! In order to keep your business top of mind, we had to navigate ourselves in the direction of the digital future. There are some incredible innovations on the horizon in all areas of digital, and we’re thrilled to align ourselves with the ones that will work for your business. 

To all our loyal, incredible current clients, we can’t thank you enough for your support before, during and after our Zimple iteration as we continue to work hard for you and your business, every day. 

To future clients, welcome! Have a wander through our new website, check out our blogs for everything you need to know about digital; from digital marketing to design to development, and beyond. And, read through our exciting new direction; we looking forward to sharing our next chapter with you all.

Nathan Hookway

General Manager

Nathan’s professionalism, business knowledge, team loyalty and persistence is the backbone of Zimple. His ability to oscillate between micro and macro vision and understand the needs required to achieve positive outcomes in both spaces is unique and incredibly valuable. Always eager to push himself professionally and personally, he leads through demonstration, empathy and understanding, rather than simply acquiring a leadership role. Aside from always being motivated to support company culture and a positive working environment, he’s especially eager for Christmas parties, and you can catch him organising them from May.

team new-team BlakeBennett

Blake Bennett

Business Development Manager

Blake’s energy and passion injects a new level of enthusiasm into all client dealings. He has a talent for making complicated topics sound clear and easy, and is great at breaking down barriers in new client engagement. There is no denying his ability to create strong, lasting and genuine connections with people, and that is his true super power as a BDM. He is often the vital thread between our digital services and our client relationships, making sure everyone in the room is heard and understood. He is dedicated to delivering a personable experience to all clients, and staff, from beginning to end.

team new-team ReneeBennett

Renee Bennett

Account Manager

Kind, composed and passionate about what she does, Renee is a quiet achiever with mighty determination. Solutions-focused and eager to ensure clients are consistently aligned with the processes, she has a knack for quickly solving issues and rolling up her sleeves to do so. Renee's personal approach to all areas of life, professional and personal, means she has a consistently solid relationship with those around her. No question is ever too silly for her answer, or find the answer, and no problem is too big to solve. Just expect that, without fail, you’ll smell burning bread every lunchtime when she forgets her sandwich is in the press.

team new-team TimBusby

Tim Busby

Asset Account Director

Tim is able to focus on any given task, in seemingly impenetrable fashion, only to suddenly quip a quick wit response to a conversation behind him, without skipping a beat. While he thrives in collaborative environments, he also creates them, nurturing the ability for everyone to bring their best to a table, with great enthusiasm. Dedicated and committed to the process, even if he has to put out fires with his bare hands along the way, he can adapt any hurdle to realign it with the strategised purpose and leads the way. Experienced in managing creative and studio teams in agency and client side, print, content, video and digital production, he's an asset to the Zimple team.

team new-team GlennCooper

Glenn Cooper

Head of Strategy

Glenn is an absolute digital marketing Master of the Craft. He is uncompromising on ensuring a ‘why’ exists in every onboarded strategy, and is dedicated to delivering on promises, without exception. He has also become somewhat of a life oracle for the team, with a consistent track record in sage advice and incredible understanding of human behaviour. While he has a wealth of experience in the field, both as a business owner and an SEO/SEM expert, it is his real-time knowledge of the digital landscape that makes him a favourite both at Zimple and to every client we work with. (‘We’d like Glenn in the meeting’ is a request we hear a lot!).

team new-team AnaZrnic

Ana Zrnic

Art Director

When you hear people say a person ‘lights up a room’, Ana is a reference point. Not literally, of course, that would be an indictable offence. She does brighten it though; through her profession-leading talent in UX design, to her unique laugh and even more unique sense of humour. Her creative process dives deeper than just creating pretty web pages (though, they all are), and ensures clients’ digital design is crafted from a user-first perspective (and, therefore, bottom-line results). Passionate about every project, her attitude and thoughtful approach ensures no detail is missed and every client feels proud of their digital presence. She’s also the Queen of Snacks, with an endless supply to feed us through deadlines.

team new-team SarahKane

Sarah Kane

Account Director

Sarah is pure joy. No hyperbolic positivity, just a joy to work with and for even when she needs to ask the hard questions. Loves a laugh and is the ultimate team player, you can see where we’re going with this… she’s a true gold class Account Manager, colleague, friend and, well, all round human. She retains a combination of stealth project management ability, top notch communication skills, sharp intellect and marketing expertise, she delivers a lot of value to the table (including an MBA). Although we can firmly attest to Sarah’s wonderful attributes before the adoption of her Golden Retriever, Luigi, he quickly became a pet fan favourite around here and we’re often working on ways to recruit him.

team RenaeBennett

Renae Bennett

Accounts

Renae’s genuine, caring and interested approach to human connection is something you don’t come across every day. She is devoted to the growth of Zimple, including ensuring everyone in the team feels seen and heard, even just about how their day is going. Her intelligence and organisational skills keep us afloat, and her calm, considered demeanour has long been the thread that holds the Zimple fabric together.

team kateasimus-1

Kate Asimus

Social Media Specialist

Kate is our sharp, witty, social media pocket rocket. Absolutely no one can craft a holistic, value-full social media strategy like her. She is an undeniable asset to client communications, sharing her knowledge in a mindful, clear way that is never confusing or ‘industry’. Her unwavering solutions-based thinking keeps us all on track, and her in depth social media insights translated to real world application gives her the cutting edge in a busy industry. Even in the depths of deadlines and fulfilling last minute requests, Kate also manages to inject joy into any environment. We’re not just shooting off compliments here. You’ll see what we mean when you meet her. She’s also a collector of eclectic second hand mugs, that she may or may not gift you.

team RikkiHodgeSmith

Rikki Hodge

Content Producer

Rikki is more than just a producer of content, but rather a producer of ideas and creativity. Her experience in, and passion for, storytelling has made her a valuable asset to our team. A calming presence in the office with a versatile approach, she relaxes client hesitations to maximise their outcomes. Her intelligence, inquisitive nature and thirst for knowledge creates a holistic copywriting method inclusive of SEO, with audience and human behaviour at the forefront, always. Her words glue everything together, creating a seamless connection between our assets and marketing teams and clients. We can list an abundance of skills for Rikki, though keeping an organised and clean desktop is NOT one of them. The screen chaos doesn’t seem to hinder her ability to find purpose and passion with projects, even if it includes writing about yet another forklift for the 10,000th time.

team SamPrater

Sam Prater

Digital Marketing Specialist

Sam is the genius behind our SEO/SEM service, working closely with our Head of Strategy, Glenn. He never demands an audience, but he’ll command one when there’s something truly valuable to say. The tallest and the youngest in the office, he sees the world in a unique and fresh way that inspires the whole team (he’s nifty for getting stuff from the top shelf, too). His knowledge far outweighs his years and it shows up in the results he delivers for clients. He also has a decent list of shows to binge if you ask him and you won’t hear him say no to a plate of deep fried calamari.

team SamLeighton

Sam Leighton

Developer

Sam’s intelligence and ability to apply logic, reason and solutions for creative outcomes is an individual trait that we didn’t know existed until he walked in. He’s always available to answer technical questions in a clear way to those a little less technical-minded and will provide effective alternative avenues quickly when required. Highly skilled with code and a talented developer, he has a thoughtful and thorough approach to all projects, right down to the last detail. Also, you really want this guy on your trivia team. And no you can’t have him.


team adrianstein-1

Adrian Stein

Developer

Adrian is focused, professional and hard working. His ability to think of issues before they arise and critically, effectively, evaluate solutions is second to none. His knowledge in development has directly contributed to the success of Zimple in the asset space, and so too has his willingness to answer technical questions that support positive outcomes for the team and our clients. Incredibly reliable, it’s not just his astute intellect and work ethic we can count on, but also hilariously specific one-liners, musings on his cat and desire to be wearing a winter robe at all times. (He doesn’t, but he’d like to petition the council for the right to).

team FinNeill

Finbah Neill

UI/UX Designer

We really can’t start this without first the special mention of Finn’s workstation...the office’s aesthetic pinnacle, making us mere mortals blush in comparison with his carefully curated arrangement of plants, decorative ceramics and even wholesome fresh fruit bowls. Added bonus, though, he’s incredible at what he does. Finn immerses himself in research, consistently unearthing new insights, applying design intelligence and is always armed with his rich background in illustration and UX/UI. Finn is devoted to melding form and function seamlessly, blowing clients away with clever concepts and a knack for easily explaining complex ideas and design.

team RyanStuart

Ryan Stuart

UI/UX Designer

Extremely talented at his craft, Ryan intuitively designs UX/UI-led pages with out-of-the-box solutions and innovative concepts, making his work undeniably his. While always up to date with the latest digital trends, and critically analysing their genuine worth before applying them, his creative mind extends beyond the realm of digital. His hybrid of left brain and right brain thinking, teamed with a desire to seek truth on any given issue, gives him a social and professional edge that can’t be replicated. Although he is the office coffee connoisseur, he manages to be an extremely calm team presence.
