Head of studio Nicole Geekie said the growth is a reflection of client demand.
“The addition of new clients, people and promotions reflects the trust clients place in us to design and deliver digital products that genuinely enhance the user experience,” Geekie said.
“Frank has a deep heritage in partnering with some of Australia’s biggest and most ambitious brands to build platforms that are not only beautifully executed but truly effective.
“With new specialists joining the team and several well-earned promotions, we are in a stronger position than ever to continue that legacy and meet rising demand for high-quality digital work.”
Frank Digital and Jaywing were acquired by Merchantwise Group last year. Merchantwise agencies RQ Media and Three Scoops have since been integrated into Jaywing.
The acquisition doubled headcount to more than 145 and pushed group client media spend under management to $110 million. It was Merchantwise’s second major purchase in 2025 and the third in the past three years.
