We’re really excited to realize part of that ambition today by achieving Optimizely Platinum Partner status in recognition of the work we do for our clients, how we help them leverage the most from their digital experience investment, and create remarkable experiences that convert for their customers. Our partnership with Optimizely is integral to our vision and mission and we look forward to building on this from here.” said Nick Towers, CEO of Remarkable Group the agency’s parent company.
