Our Story

The overall ethos of Authentic Orange is to help small businesses, brands, startups and individuals with strategically-based creative across areas like social media and traditional platforms. With more than 15 years of experience working in international publishing companies and social media agencies, we want to bring some of this ‘big organisation’ thinking and approach to smaller operations.

We intend to provide our clients with actionable insight-led strategies and creative that aligns with their objectives – such as looking to grow their customer base, increase engagement, drive conversion or improve brand awareness. Basically, if you want people to know about you or your business – we can help.

All too often, we find companies have started to make their own steps into working in digital or social marketing, yet haven’t connected the dots together to make them work efficiently and effectively. This is where we can help – we take a step back to review what you’re doing against what you want to achieve and suggest straightforward ways to make meaningful change.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all answers or cheap tactics that burn your reputation – instead we’re looking to create long-lasting partnerships built on trust and understanding. We look forward to working with clients who have a similar outlook.
