Challenge
ADM Interactive, the largest digital agency in Estonia, faced significant growth challenges. During the last couple of years, the market had been through a lot of change. Being based in Tallinn, Estonia (known as the "Silicon Valley of Europe"), ADM was dealing with an extremely high number of tech companies and start-ups in a country of just 1.3 million people. Although Estonia had a significant number of IT specialists, it wasn't enough to ensure the growth of all the tech companies. ADM had been working with team members from other European countries for years, but needed to reach out even further. With big growth plans and a fast pace, they couldn't rely only on internal teams but had to find outside partners to collaborate with.
