About

Since 2012, we’ve evolved from a one-man band into a flexible and friendly team of digital experts. We’ve always been committed to keeping our team totally remote, because we know our clients would rather pay for talented tech partners than slick offices filled with trendy bean bags. We may be geographically diverse, but we’re connected by our combined desires to innovate, disrupt and do great work. 

What we believe in

Every team needs to gel to work together well, a fact that’s even more true for a remote team like ours. The glue that holds the Appy team together is made from mutual respect, deeply felt shared values, top notch communication skills and a hefty dollop of humour.
 
Just like we don’t do meaningless industry jargon, we also don’t do cheesy company principles. The values below are all things that we hold dear, things that we know build, and support, a fantastic team of colleagues and partners.

Open

As a team we share ideas on new ways to work and think, to constructive criticism, we think it’s crucial to always keep our minds wide open.

We’re friendly, approachable and totally transparent.

Entrepreneurial

We’re always looking for ways to do things better, and searching for the solution to help every client win customers.

We share ideas, make connections and build successful businesses.

Experienced

We’re so much more than an agency that relies on flashy graphics to win clients. We’re true tech experts.

We lead with knowledge and believe experience is there to be shared.

Ownership

We’re incredibly proud of what we do, which is why we’re never afraid to take responsibility for every project we work on.

Problems are made to be solved, and we’re here to solve them.
