Born from a love of problem solving, Digital Balance founders Nicky Hoyland and Chris Keeling spotted an opportunity to offer their technical expertise to help “fill the gaps” in the knowledge of large corporates.

The digital agency provides bespoke technical solutions in e-learning, design, development and training to help corporates take full advantage of technology. With years of experience in adult learning and system development, Hoyland and Keeling describe themselves as “geeks through and through”, and are passionate about designing and developing “new and exciting” ways to make complex technical solutions easy.

Thanks to the team’s combined expertise, Digital Balance works with some of the biggest client names in their respective industries including EE, Vodafone, Expedia, Santander and eBay, and will be embarking on innovative projects and increasing return on investment within its customer base over the coming year. Projecting turnover of £350,000 for 2015, the business – which boasts a remarkable profit margin – will also focus on growth and developing systems and solutions to engage users and “make them want to return”.
