A brief history of the future

What is a Difference Engine®?

The term refers to the works of Charles Babbage, the founding father of computing, and Ada Lovelace, the first computer scientist. These two worked together to engineer new technology, invent ground-breaking solutions and solve complex problems. They started the computer revolution that has changed the world.

As fellow technologists, geeks and inventors, we’ve made the ‘Difference Engine’ our own. Differentiation is at the heart of what we do as marketers. We believe every successful company has a Difference Engine. We’re here to help you build yours.

From stalled to full steam ahead

01 Going nowhere

Your marketing efforts lack a real strategy. You struggle to find leads, and nobody uses your CRM. Your outdated website and lack of visibility into the customer pipeline, metrics, and goals keep you from moving forward.

02 Cogs are turning

You recognise the value of marketing but don’t have resources in-house to put towards it. You’d describe your brand as ‘okay’, which is... nice. You’re slightly embarrassed by your website. You have ambitious goals but need help to achieve them.

03 Full steam ahead

You have the conversion-optimised website and consistent marketing outputs to drive traffic and send quality leads to Sales. You are a stand-out brand that people know by name. Competitors wish they’d done it first. Time is on your side.
