Independent full-service agency bolsters digital capabilities with the acquisition of Appcelerate

Independent advertising agency Them has further strengthened its digital capabilities with the acquisition of Adelaide based web design and app development company Appcelerate, including the company’s founder, Rye Smith.

Smith describes himself as an entrepreneur and an ‘intrapreneur’ within business, helping clients to improve processes and take on market sectors from a fresh and innovative approach.

Says Smith: “Over the past few years, I’ve worked closely with stakeholders from SMEs to Government and Tertiary institutions, all with a focus on innovation, disruption, flexibility and agility in approaches to digital solutions and marketing.”

Smith brings his considerable skills and experience to Them’s already impressive digital team of 10, headed by digital account director Belinda Hamlyn and digital solutions manager Apolo Kok Lok. Them offers clients a complete range of digital services, from website development and online advertising to search engine optimisation and social media.

Them Advertising is a full-service advertising agency with expertise in strategy, branding, design, TV/radio, account service, digital and media, all under the one conveniently-located roof at Kent Town.
