About WME · Since 2008
What started with one determined founder, $400 and a laptop has grown into one of Australia’s most established and awarded digital marketing agencies. This is our story.
Our story
In 2008, our founder, Nick Bell, started Web Marketing Experts from a bedroom with little more than $400, a laptop and a conviction that Australian businesses deserved digital marketing that actually worked. He picked up the phone, started cold-calling, and signed the first client within days.
SEO was where it began. But as clients grew, so did we, adding web design and development, paid search, social and content, until WME became a true full-service agency producing every service in-house.
That momentum turned into national recognition. WME was named among Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50, listed in Anthill’s Top 100 Coolest Companies and counted as one of the country’s fastest-growing tech businesses, before expanding across the Asia-Pacific and beyond.
