INSIGHTS & BENCHMARKING

At Portable Studios, we promote a culture of continuous learning and improvement, as technology, online consumer behaviour and business priorities change over time.

Insights and benchmarking come from a range of data and research sources. At Portable we combine information from sources like Google Analytics, Facebook insights, email, market trends and more. From this we create a single view to benchmark your website’s effectiveness and plan for future improvements.

Whether your business requires ongoing analysis and reporting of online performance, or you simply require a digital health check, we can advise and develop the best solution.

DIGITAL STRATEGY

The online universe is expanding every day, creating new ways for audiences and consumers to connect with brands. The challenge is understanding how to take advantage of the emerging technology that delivers results for your business. At Portable we not only understand technology but the way in which people are using it to create, explore, buy and sell.

Digital Strategy and Audience Development is at the core of our offering at Portable Studios. We have been identifying needs, providing solutions to problems and defining strategies for clients, agencies and brands since our inception. Portable understands that the importance of identifying a strong strategic foundation is paramount to creating an online presence that your customers love engaging with.

USER EXPERIENCE & WEB DESIGN

User Experience Design is integral to us at Portable Studios. We make deliberate experiences that people have with a platform; a phone, website, app, tablet or an object. We understand that interaction between a person and their surroundings should be engineered to deliver value to that person and the brand.

Portable creates beautifully designed web experiences that make use of the latest tools in digital technology. Whilst we develop solutions in a range of technologies, we prefer using open source tools, with an emphasis on Drupal and Wordpress.

CONTENT STRATEGY

Content Strategy is at the core of our offering at Portable Studios. Generating and publishing content for the web is something we do every day. Portable Studios work with clients to create a detailed Content Strategy that helps them audit current content and plan

WEB, APP, MOBILE, TABLET & E-COMMERCE DEVELOPMENT

We live in a world of multi-channel consumption where users consume, develop and share content across multiple online platforms and devices.

At Portable Studios we deliver content and digital solutions that ensure you’re visible and relevant to your online customer.

Commerce has moved online. Portable Studios has worked with over one hundred retailers, wholesalers, brands and clients around the world to design and power their e-commerce. Not confined by platforms, Portable Studios are also experts in providing mobile commerce solutions

AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT

We’ve all heard that “content is king,” but what is the point of talking if no one is listening? At Portable Studios we develop audience engagement strategies that align your brand with its target audience in a way that creates value for both parties.

Through an analysis of current and target audiences, best online channels, content types and metrics, we create the opportunity for a two-way conversation that moves users from discovery stage through to co-creator of content and brand ambassadors. By measuring our efforts on a regular basis we track levels of engagement to build loyal online ecosystems your target audiences want to be a part of.

THE PORTABLE STORY

Portable was founded by Andrew Apostola and Simon Goodrich on November 6, 2005 and inspired by the creation of the video iPod, which Andrew saw in an Apple store in San Francisco. He called Simon, they talked for a bit, Simon came up with a name and the rest is history. From that point forward Portable has strived to produce excellent work and to stay true to the original ideals and creative endeavours.

Portable now has offices in Melbourne, Sydney and New York, employing a talented team of more than 30 with experience from across gaming, not for profit, public media, government, social enterprises, electronics, startups, film and corporates.

Intelligent Thinking First, Technology Second

We maintain and extend our position as a leading technology company by acknowledging that innovative technology is only ever the byproduct of intelligent thinking. This means that we ensure that we think, design and plan before constructing any process or technology tool.
