2018 was a year of rapid growth, momentous wins and courageous steps to reinvent, modernise and go toe-to-toe with industry behemoths. Here's a quick video recap of what went down in 2018 for what today stands as among Singapore's finest independent digital marketing agencies.

We acknowledge that traffic numbers alone do not give the entire picture of a website's performance (and that Alexa numbers are indicative estimates). However, when combined with other efforts we had in the year like a brand refresh (Fact: this caused a significant site rank and traffic dip, as Google had re-indexed all our site pages), it does look like that our inbound methodology is paying off.
When choosing your next agency, consider the fact that Construct Digital does not only preach inbound and search marketing to its clients, but applies it internally as well. Our industry awards in inbound and search (where we were recognised twice in 2018) truly exemplify our inbound know-how.
Speaking of a brand refresh: Construct Digital launches a new look with the mantra: New, Bold. Now.
Coinciding with the 8th anniversary of Construct Digital opening its first permanent office doors, we rolled out a brand refresh which included a refreshed visual and brand identity, a unified communications strategy and a revamped website.
We won 4 different prestigious industry awards in 2018, as testament to our good work.
In 2018, we won awards from 4 different award ceremonies, recognising the excellent work we are delivering to our clients, and cementing our position as one of Singapore's best independent digital agencies.
We welcomed many new faces, and gave them reasons to smile (through the work!).
We've had over 372 work from home days, and recognised multiple people with steady points (we give this out to someone who's demonstrated steady characteristics that embody our company values) to the tune of 734 points.
We've also kept to celebrating monthly birthdays and regular monthly events. In December, we had a gift exchange and karaoke night.
