About Us

Libertas ex Machina

Two Decades of Innovation and Growth

Leveraging 22 years of expertise, Area Ten has developed into an international team of over 130 dedicated professionals focused on delivering profitable growth across our customers across the globe.

The birth of Area Ten can be traced back to my time as the head of Search at Telstra, Australia’s largest telecom company. The frustration grew in me as monthly meetings often took this predictable turn…

Agency: Look how great our campaign is going!

Jeremy: Looking at my data, the campaign doesn’t appear to drive business growth

Agency: I understand your concern, our campaign has been performing well, but your site sucks (or some derivation of it).

Jeremy: If you know there’s a problem, why don’t you do something about it, I’m looking for a 100% not a 50% solution. I’ll assign more budget.

However, all I would get in response were sounds of crickets. No solutions, no initiative, no movement.

With all these so-called experts and specialized agencies around, not a single one could provide a holistic solution.

It became clear to me that this gap was the first inspiration for Area Ten – a digital agency built with the aim to deliver a complete solution. We would analyze the entire funnel to help businesses achieve tangible growth.

Differentiation as Survival:

Understanding the Market

During this period, I was also constantly surrounded by numerous proposals and pitches from various digital agencies.

Digging beneath the surface, however, I began to see a recurring pattern – a distinct lack of originality in approach and execution. This aligned with a sentiment Jeff Bezos voiced in his final letter to Amazon shareholders:

“Differentiation is survival, and the universe wants you to be typical.”

With everyone using similar strategies, how could we expect to outperform competitors?

This problem was not only wasting time and resources but also dousing marketing budgets in a sea of mediocrity. The recognition of this pervasive challenge served as my second source of inspiration.

Thus, Area Ten was born with a clear purpose: to be a game-changing competitive advantage for our clients, enabling them not just to survive, but to prosper in a market drowning in uniformity.

From the start, we’ve dedicated ourselves to resist the usual, to nurture uniqueness, and to strive for excellence. Our foundation is based on a technology-first approach, ensuring continuous improvement in effectiveness, efficiency, and scale.

Zero to one

Entrepreneurship in Action:

From Zero to One (several times)

What sets us apart is our ‘zero to one’ experience. We’ve ventured into the world of business creation from scratch, successfully elevating them to multimillion-dollar levels.

With a successful track record of driving seven startup businesses, six reaching the $1 million revenue mark from nil in less than 16 months, and five of them scaling to multimillion-dollar enterprises. Even the two that ended in failure have contributed critical lessons to our foundation of success.

This profound experience allows us to facilitate scalable results for businesses swiftly and efficiently.

Our Commitment

Bigger Results, Faster: Our Commitment to You

The industry is saturated with cookie-cutter strategies and re-packaged tools masquerading as unique intellectual property. Businesses often fall into the trap of mistaking familiarity for effectiveness.

They reiterate the same strategies as everyone else, expecting different results – an approach that closely aligns with the definition of insanity.

At Area Ten, we vehemently rebel against such needless complexity and ineffective conventions.

Our team understands your challenges, as we have voyaged the same treacherous waters, building several multi-million dollar businesses from the ground up.

Over our years of operation, we have successfully harnessed our proprietary AI-based technologies to drive predictable, scalable growth for businesses across a variety of industries, from ambitious startups to global brands worldwide.

At Area Ten, our focus is laser-sharp – we ensure every strategy we implement starts demonstrating results within six weeks. This commitment is not just a claim; it has been put to the test across dozens of industries around the world, consistently proving our ability to deliver our promise of ‘Bigger Results, Faster’.
