These tools have been particularly impactful for businesses in key Tasmanian cities, including Hobart, Launceston, Devonport, and Burnie, enhancing their visibility in local search results and driving more inquiries.

BOLDER’s Journey: From Coaching to Global Innovation

What started as BOLDER Coaching, a business focused on ethical, permission-based selling, has evolved into a full-service digital agency offering an array of services, including CRM systems, lead generation, bespoke system integrations, and overseas recruitment. BOLDER Digital’s growth has been fuelled by a commitment to delivering real-world solutions based on practical business needs.

“I’m not someone who jumped into AI because it’s trending. I’ve spent over a decade learning from the world’s best business mentors and building businesses that solve real problems,” says Jarryd Holmes, Founder of BOLDER Digital. “This award nomination is a reflection of our team’s dedication to building systems that deliver measurable results for our clients.”

The Significance of Global Reach from Tasmania

While Tasmania, with a population of just 576,109, may not be known as a technology hub, BOLDER Digital is challenging conventional expectations by proving that location is no barrier to success. The company has achieved a global impact, providing AI-powered business automation solutions to clients across four continents. BOLDER Digital’s ability to serve businesses worldwide, while remaining rooted in Tasmania, is a testament to the company’s innovative approach and leadership in the AI space.

“We’re showing that innovation isn’t about location; it’s about leadership,” Holmes adds. “From Tasmania to the world, we’re helping businesses scale smarter, not harder.”

The BOLDER Difference: Practical, Results-Driven Solutions

Unlike many agencies that promise short-term, unproven results, BOLDER Digital focuses on delivering scalable solutions that provide long-term value. The company’s philosophy stands in stark contrast to the “hope marketing” often seen in the industry. BOLDER Digital builds systems designed to deliver continuous growth and efficiency, ensuring that businesses can rely on their automation solutions without the need for constant tweaking.

“We don’t sell hope marketing , the kind that feels good for a moment but leaves businesses stuck. We build systems that work,” says Holmes. “Our clients can trust that our solutions will help them grow sustainably.”
