The start of something great
Gary Bolt founded FDM in 2015 after experiencing the value of digital marketing first-hand. He had ventured into digital marketing to promote and grow sales for the business he was running at the time. He successfully built a brand online through paid media. While he was ‘converted’ (pun intended) by the effectiveness of digital advertising, he too realised that with expertise and adequate resources, he could amplify his results 10-fold.
-
The need for inbound marketing
Gary was not alone. Conversations with his network revealed that many business owners had either not learned about or fully leveraged the benefits of digital marketing. Without hesitation, Gary turned his focus to helping fellow business owners reach more customers and grow revenue with online advertising and inbound marketing.
-
A fresh new look
Two years later, Maxine Bolt joined as a partner. Maxine’s corporate business management experience brought a new structure, strategy services, and a company re-brand.
-
Growth in all areas
Famous Digital Media continued on a growth trajectory. 2018 saw numerous expansions. We added more services in response to market needs, diversified the industries we serve, and more clients came on board. With that, our team of experts grew proportionally.
-
Here for the long run
Famous Digital Media continued to sharpen skills and provide relevant solutions within digital marketing. Learning journeys started to stay abreast of the latest search engine marketing techniques.
-
The year of increase
FDM was delighted to have started 2020 off with a bang! Where other businesses started dialling back, our team grew! A successful acquisition saw us welcome a range of new clients.
-
Google gets behind our name
Meet Famous Digital Media, certified Google Partner . Qualifying as a Google Partner is as exciting as adding Dr or Prof after your name—it’s like the online marketing agency equivalent. It means that you are in the hands of capable professionals. Once again, despite staggering odds in the economy, FDM recorded growth in clients and employees.
-
Digital acceleration
The pandemic pushed digital transformation and online procurement to new heights. We are helping businesses realise the full potential of digital marketing.
-
Expanding our Clientele
This year saw FDM further focus on our niche audiences, serving clients within the cyber and petroleum industry, as well as expand our international clientele. We also made great strides in integrating AI tools into our daily operations, leveraging its power to enhance our work processes and quality outputs.
-
Meta & Google Partner Certification
In 2024, we achieved our Meta certification and renewed our Google Partner certification, both of which demanded extensive study and stringent exam testing procedures. Our team’s dedication to continuous improvement and upskilling ensures we bring exceptional value and expertise to our digital marketing agency, and clients.

Proud to Be the Online Marketing Agency of These Top Brands
It’s been an honour serving these B2B businesses, past and present.
Proven B2B Marketing Proficiency for
Businesses With Project Deliverables
When your sales involve tenders, RFQs, proposals, and include words like “project scope” we get you! Our executives come from industries where the sales cycle can take months and involves several contact points to reach the final decision-makers. That’s why our online marketing agency excels at helping B2B businesses get face-to-face sales meetings.
You need an agency that understands that “add to cart” won’t cut it. But, if you’re selling products and want an eCommerce platform, we can help there too. The point is that we provide the right solution for your business. No cookie-cutter marketing here.
We hold experience in ICT software and infrastructure, BPO solutions, construction, engineering, and project management. Over the years, we have also earned a reputation among transport and logistics companies who appreciate that the person searching isn’t always the one who signs. So, we build customer journey maps that consider all the stakeholders in the buying process.
