About Digigem
Digigem is a team of three offering digital marketing, brand strategy, and fractional CMO consulting services. Since 2020, we have carefully curated a network of expert marketers from diverse industries to assist our clients in streamlining their outsourced partnerships and effectively execute growth initiatives. We don't just see ourselves as an external agency; our aim is to become an integral extension of your in-house marketing team.
The leading force behind Digigem is Max Kroll (she/her). Having worked in both startup and corporate environments, and experienced the client's perspective in agency relationships, Max recognized the strengths and shortcomings of the industry as well as that of the internal teams she was a part of. This insight inspired Digigem's mission: to be a sales-minded marketing agency that considers the integrated and long-term needs of every project we undertake.
We understand that cultural compatibility and capacity alignment are the start to a strong partnership and successful result. We're not here for a quick win; we're here for the long haul. Our commitment to you is simple but profound: our marketing efforts will draw you closer to your clients, support your sales team, and nurture the growth of your business.
