noun

The point at which a fire gets lit.

Ok, we completely made up this word – and the definition.
But it’s what we aim to do for our clients: light a fire under their digital marketing.

We started out in 2002 as RingJohn, a specialist digital agency with a simple formula: seasoned experts on every account and a commitment to delivering on our promises.
We’ve stuck with the formula for more than 20 years – because it works!
