Our Journey: Adapting and Thriving in the Digital Era
Local Digital Works was founded in the mid-1980s after the successful run of the Vega Hispanic Yellow Pages in Washington D.C., which became the leading publication in its category across the U.S. with over 1,600 satisfied advertisers. As the digital age dawned in the early 2000s, the rise of Google transformed the landscape of advertising, making the traditional yellow pages obsolete with its vast search capabilities of handling 99,000 searches per second.
Recognizing the shift towards digital mediums, our company was quick to pivot from print to digital marketing. We understood early on that the digital presence of a business needed to extend beyond a simple website. Today, it encompasses robust social media engagement, numerous positive online reviews, and continuous adaptation to digital trends.
As we look to the future, we anticipate further evolution in digital marketing strategies, preparing to guide our clients through these changes and ensuring they remain at the forefront of their industries.
