We're Digital Applied — a boutique digital marketing consultancy rebuilt around AI agents and senior human judgment. Founded in 2019, we replace the retainer-and-meetings model with unit-based pricing and deliverables measured in days, not quarters.
The traditional agency model was built for a decade in which production capacity was scarce. That decade is over.
Seven years shipping marketing for consumer, B2B, and fintech brands.
Small team, direct access. No account-manager layer between you and the work.
Unit-based pricing — you pay for output, not headcount or hours booked.
Digital Applied was founded on a simple observation: the work that fills a junior marketer's week — audits, competitor snapshots, ad variants, keyword briefs, reporting — is mostly pattern-matching on top of good strategy. Pattern-matching is what modern AI is for.
So we rebuilt the agency around that insight. AI agents run the repeatable production work against proven playbooks, senior strategists own judgment and review every deliverable before it ships, and clients see the work in real time through live dashboards — not 40-page retrospectives two weeks after the fact.
The result is a shop that delivers the output of a traditional agency at a fraction of the cycle time, priced by the unit, with senior eyes on every line.
That's it. That's the whole pitch. The rest is execution.
Not values on a wall — the working principles that shape every decision, from how we price to what we ship.
AI runs the production work; a senior strategist owns the call. Every campaign, every piece of copy, every line of code passes through human review before it ships. Speed without oversight is just faster mistakes.
You see the same numbers we see, updated in real time. No curated quarterly reviews. No hidden fees.
Unit-based pricing from €2K/month. Scope is a menu, not a retainer. You buy output — audits, pages, campaigns — not a desk of people.
Standard deliverables in days. SEO audit in 72 hours. First campaign live inside two weeks. Compound on that pace weekly.
Accounts, data, models, automations — built inside your stack. If you leave, the work goes with you. We earn renewal on results.
Every engagement starts with a baseline and ends with a number. If a channel isn't moving the number, we kill it. Opinion is cheap — attribution is how we settle arguments.
We write like humans, price in plain language, and ship status updates when there's actually something to say. If you can't explain a tactic in one paragraph, it probably doesn't work.
With over a decade in digital marketing and technology, Richard founded Digital Applied in 2019 with a vision for agency work that was faster, more measurable, and finally honest about where the margin goes.
His specialty is the seam where strategy, creativity, technology, and automation meet — deep expertise in AI-powered digital solutions, marketing automation, and data-driven decision making, grounded in the campaigns those systems are meant to run.
Richard leads a small team that keeps the work close to the client. No layered account managers, no junior hand-offs — clients work directly with someone who understands both the technical and strategic aspects of modern marketing.
A short history of how we got to here — and why the agentic model only works because of the decade of groundwork under it.
