Client Collaborations

From developing a Sustainability ID scoring tool and ESG AI app for OpenESG to helping revolutionise flora specimen collection with PlantGang, we thrived on the challenge of distilling technical complexity into elegant, user friendly solutions, whilst continuing to work with loyal clients including ACON, Elder Abuse Action Australia, Metcash and Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group on product development, new builds and loyalty programs.

New Family Members

We were thrilled to welcome a number of new client partners into the fold, including BOOM! , Charge HQ and the International Grammar School.

Compass Website: Our re-imagination of EAAA's Compass website garnered widespread coverage in notable publications such as Campaign Brief, B&T, and CRN Australia, driving greater engagement and awareness about elder abuse.

Partnerships

2023 saw us establish a number of new partnerships as we connected with some exceptional specialists in fields from finance to branding, enriching our ability to comprehensively support our clients across all areas of their business.

Growth Partners

From elevating our digital solutions through cutting-edge headless CMS as official Storyblok partners to our new Growth Partnership with Tractor Ventures, and achieving Advanced Supplier status for the NSW Government, we proudly solidified key partnerships that fuel our commitment to innovation and sustainable progress.

Sustainably Focused

Maintaining our trace carbon neutral status, progressing our journey to B Lab certification and re-launching our own website with new brand positioning that underscores our ESG focus, we're proud of the progress we continue to make on our impact journey.

Continuous Learning

Beyond our projects, 2023 also saw us continue mentoring with Raise Foundation and Climate Salad, and embark on a new mentorship program with Ocean Impact Organisation, reflecting our belief in the power of shared knowledge.

As we wrap up this year we excitedly look forward to the next, extending heartfelt gratitude to our exceptional Grade team — Matt Bachle, Justine Marino, Dan Pacey, Adam Robertson, Kylie Anderson, Christopher R., Rebecca Miller, CPD, Rachet Khanal, Sam Fitch, Abbey Batchelor, Kris Baum and Andy Burns and supporters Ben Fletcher at Generate, Jules Munro and Amy Grondal at Simpsons, Kirsty Dare and Simon Morgan to name but a few.
