Our Mission
digital yarn exists to make agency-level creative work accessible to organisations that are doing something that matters.
The clients we work best with are not always the ones with the biggest budgets. They are the sporting clubs, the charities, the community organisations, the health services - the ones where good creative work has a real impact, and where the budget needs to stretch as far as possible. That’s the gap that our modular model was built to fill.
We’re not trying to be the biggest agency in Adelaide. We’re trying to be the most useful one for the people who need it most.
Our clients tend to share a common profile; they have a genuine story to tell, they have some internal capacity, but never enough to execute everything at the level they want. And they’ve usually tried managing freelancers themselves or been priced out of a traditional agency.
We work with mid-sized organisations across health and wellbeing, sport, community services, and the arts. A growing portion of our work is pro bono. Each year we set aside capacity for projects that align with our values, where the work matters more than the margin.
If you think that sounds like you, get in touch.
Pro-Bono Projects
digital yarn is passionate about supporting small businesses and altruistic causes, and we strive to help achieve a more equitable future for all.
When our capacity as a small digital agency allows, we aim to take on several pro bono projects each year that align with our values.
If you’d like to have a chat about this possibility, please contact probono@digitalyarn.co.
Workshops and Education
digital yarn believes in the importance of empowering and inspiring young people to become the next leaders in the digital space. More than just knowing our stuff, we’re passionate about making the industry accessible, exciting, and full of possibilities for young people.
As a team of young professionals ourselves, we remember what it was like sitting in high school classrooms, trying to connect the dots between schoolwork and what came next. We went through school with the internet at our fingertips, too - so we understand firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with growing up in today’s world.
Charlie has been given the chance in 2025 to bring that passion back to his former high school, Cornerstone College, where he shares his journey and industry insights with SACE students. Through real-world experiences and practical advice, he gives them a glimpse into their potential future career paths.
THREADWORKS is an independent networking initiative for Adelaide's creative community, founded and funded by digital yarn.
The creative industry in Adelaide is full of talented people who don’t always have obvious ways to find each other, collaborate, or build the kind of professional relationships that make a career sustainable. THREADWORKS exists to change that, through events, conversations, and a community of local creatives who are invested in each other's work.
Funding THREADWORKS is part of how digital yarn puts its values into practice. The local freelance network that makes the modular model work does not maintain itself. Investing in the people and relationships that hold that community together is foundational to our business.
