The company has tailored its approach to ensure that credible digital marketing services are accessible to micro SMEs, addressing their unique challenges and needs seamlessly.
Understanding the straightforward requirements of micro SMEs, LiteBrew focuses on providing simplified yet effective strategies for their digital marketing needs. Rather than delving into complex initiatives like digital transformation, LiteBrew offers streamlined, productized services that precisely cater to the needs of micro SMEs without unnecessary complexities.
Moreover, recognizing the preference for cost-effective solutions among micro SMEs, LiteBrew adopts a strategy of leveraging pre-existing templates for creatives instead of starting from scratch.

In terms of team structure, LiteBrew operates with an optimised approach. Unlike larger corporations, micro SMEs typically do not require extensive account servicing.
