The renowned digital marketing agency, Add People, is taking a monumental step by expanding into the United States, with the inauguration of a new office located in Austin, Texas.

Spearheading the Austin office is Cameron Smith, who assumes the role of Vice President of Operations.

The team in Austin, comprising a starting cohort of ten employees, will initially prioritize developing ecommerce solutions, Google advertising expertise, and SEO products. This strategic focus is seen as a foundational step before diversifying into additional services such as lead generation and conversion rate optimization.
Cameron Smith expresses his enthusiasm for this new chapter, emphasizing that Austin’s vibrant tech scene and innovative spirit provide an ideal backdrop for the agency’s stateside operations.

With a diverse talent pool and a collaborative atmosphere, we’re confident that Austin will inspire our team to push boundaries and deliver cutting-edge solutions for our clients.”
Phil McNulty, the Chief Operating Officer, echoes this sentiment by highlighting the agency’s origins and growth. He recalls, “When we started back in 2002, back in the wild west of digital advertising, as an SEO agency, we had a vision for delivering scalable marketing solutions for small businesses, who we felt were underserved. We’re proud to have humbly scaled to be one of the largest agencies in the UK, with over 4,000 clients globally,” illustrating the agency’s robust growth and enduring commitment to customer service.
Add People’s venture into Austin symbolizes a pivotal expansion stage, addressing strategic growth and client needs.
