Our Story
26 YEARS OF
BUILDING
WHAT'S NEXT.
We started Growing Digital in June 2000 — at the height of the dot-com boom. Within a year, the bubble burst, 9/11 changed everything, and the country sank into recession. We didn't flinch. We stayed close to our clients, adapted, and kept building. That's who we are.
Our Journey
Every wave.
Every shift. We were there.
The Beginning
Founded Growing Digital in Utah while studying Computer Science at the University of Utah. Left school to pursue the opportunity full-time. Our first clients were small businesses with deep roots in their local communities.
Trial by Fire
The dot-com crash hit. Then 9/11. Then a deep recession. Most agencies folded. We stayed steadfast to our clients, weathered the storm, and came out stronger. This is where our resilience was forged.
The Affiliate Era
Built a portfolio of performance marketing sites, spending $500K+ annually on PPC promoting merchant partners like Verizon, HP, Yahoo, and others. This is where we learned to spend real money and drive real results.
Mobile Revolution
As smartphones changed everything, we pivoted to mobile-first strategies. Expanded our services to include social media, content marketing, and comprehensive digital campaigns for businesses of all sizes.
Enterprise Scale
Brought on as lead marketing consultant for IPVanish VPN and Highwinds, managing $10M+ annual budgets. Proved we could operate at enterprise scale while maintaining the agility of a boutique firm.
Two Decades Strong
Celebrated 20 years in business — a milestone few digital agencies ever reach. Expanded into influencer marketing, affiliate recruitment, and full-service social media management for brands and record labels.
The AI Era
Embraced AI not as a buzzword, but as the next foundational shift — like the web in the 90s and mobile in the 2010s. Now building AI-powered business systems, websites, and marketing campaigns that make our clients superhuman.

How We Work
Built different.
On purpose.
We don't have layers of account managers between you and results. We don't waste your budget on bloated teams. We build lean, move fast, and let the work speak for itself.
No Layers
You won't get lost in an account management hierarchy. When you work with Growing Digital, you work with senior strategists who know your business inside and out.
AI-Native Execution
We don't just use AI tools — we build with them. Every campaign, every system, every strategy is enhanced by AI that makes our experienced team superhuman.
Results, Not Reports
We're not going to drown you in dashboards and weekly decks. We focus on the metrics that matter — revenue, customers, and growth. Everything else is noise.
Lean by Design
We're not bloated. We're built for speed. A core team of veterans supported by a global network of specialists means you get the right expert for every challenge — without paying for overhead.
