Already a forerunner among Australian market competitors, V2 Digital's burgeoning growth and dedication to delivering transformative solutions are reflected in a team of 35 proficient designers, data specialists, software, and cloud engineers.

V2 Digital's CEO, Craig Howe, expressed his elation with Farmer's appointment: “We are delighted to welcome him to V2 Digital as an investor and Board Member. His experience in building and scaling successful consultancies, combined with his strategic vision, will be instrumental in guiding V2 through its continued growth and will take us from strength to strength".

Having made an audacious market debut in April this year, V2 Digital burgeoned with swift expansion of offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Alongside delivering numerous transformative engagements for clients, the company has won several commendations, becoming one of the fastest partners worldwide to attain Advanced Tier status within the prestigious AWS Partner Network, and gaining recognition as one of the Best Places to Work in Australia.
