“Look to the future, it’s only just begun”

So goes the famous Christmas song by Slade and it’s very much our outlook in Matrix as we head into our 20th year. We will allow ourselves to indulge in a small bit of nostalgia later in the year when we hit the 20-year milestone. Expect some reflections and some embarrassing photos! 

Despite the future nostalgia (definitely an oxymoron), we are a very forward-thinking bunch and we are very excited about what the next decade will bring. 

Here at Matrix, we are starting the new year and the new decade with a fresh website, which brings us one more thing to be excited about. 

“If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere” – Frank Clark

Matrix was in an embryonic state in early 2000 and the internet was still crawling. It’s been a long journey, full of tough obstacles and we tackled each one with vigour on the way to now having more than 600 large and small clients across Ireland and Europe. Diversity has been one of our biggest strengths and we have an unrivalled variation of skills, nationalities, experience, backgrounds and clients. We wouldn’t have it any other way. 

The last decade, particularly the last couple of years, have given us some exciting developments:

• Our team has grown, both in specialities and in size but mostly in ambition, matching the needs of our clients and always raising the bar for our work;
• We moved and fitted out a new office space to match our ambition for the future; 
• Becoming a part of Global Ambition and some other initiatives from Enterprise Ireland, helping us on our journey to become a truly international agency; 
• Gaining the trust and then the loyalty of many of Ireland’s top public and private organisations;
• Recently, we have built a brand new website, which is a better representation of who we are and highlights our best asset – our people. 

On our new website, we have blended together all of our experience in all digital areas, from Creative & Web Design to Digital Marketing and Strategy, and summarised this track record of success in a user-friendly format. 

On the “Who we are” page, you can get to know our team of specialists, from different areas of speciality, different cultures and backgrounds, in fun images and bios. It’s often said that “people buy people” and that is certainly true, but they also want to buy into a team with a proven track record. 

You can navigate through our projects on the “Our Work” page and find out how each of these projects has led to big achievements for our clients. And if you are only looking for the latest news and ideas from the digital world, our blog is a rich cornucopia of useful information. 

With all the above in place, we feel like 2020 will be a fantastic year. Inside the Matrix, we are working on exciting projects, constantly tweaking our methods and doing our best to satisfy our clients and to make our employees even more proud of being part of the team. We are also planning our 20th year’s celebrations. Watch out, September! We know how to throw a party! 

So much to do, so much to see, so many things to learn on our way! That sounds like a political slogan but the truth is that we are genuinely excited about our next path and becoming a better version of ourselves. We would love to bring our clients with us on this journey, therefore, we want to invite you, dear Matrix blog reader, to leave us a piece of advice for the new year: what do you think will be the next trend of the decade? Also, what should we focus on in 2020? Get in touch, we would love to hear from you.
