Our take
The digital agency sector can often seem oversaturated and it can be difficult to see what sets each agency apart. You may have the most technically able agency but what Outliant boasts about is their fresh team of passionate creators. Outliant hopes to be the one-stop shop end-to-end service that businesses seek out to fulfil all customers' design, marketing, strategy needs from the early stages to implementation.
With their futuristic thinking it seems to be constantly pushing personal and competitive boundaries of creativity to produce high quality products. Customers include DocuSign, Purina and Orange Theory. It’s important to note their diverse client base, suggesting the company is open to all kinds of projects and are successfully achieving their needs.
It won’t go unnoticed that the founding team have worked together on several business adventures prior to Outliant, indicating not only that this might be a dream team but also advocates for the success of the company. Founded to be the agency that they would want to work with, the fresh look and virtual charm is enticing. Still young, Outliant have achieved a great deal in a short amount of time from acquiring a strong client roster to forming an online presence. The founding team is clearly on a mission, we’ll wait with eagerness to see how the company progresses.
