Digital marketing can be a game-changer for your business, but only when done right. With so many platforms, strategies, and tools available, it's easy to fall into some common traps that waste time, budget, and opportunity.

Let’s be honest - when it comes to setting a marketing budget, most small business owners in Ireland feel a little... unsure. We get it. One of the most common questions we hear at RIPPLE is: “How much should I actually spend on marketing next year?” 

At RIPPLE, we believe that our people are our greatest asset. As the Managing Director, I take great pride in knowing that we have a team of dedicated, talented and passionate individuals who drive our success every day. Today's team was not built overnight and followed a long process to get it right; I’m delighted to currently stand over each one of the team and back them to drive RIPPLE forward. One of the most critical components in maintaining this success is our hiring process.
