The TAM (Total Addressable Market) for Martec alone is between $32B-$40B here-and-now, and Indigo Consulting, being an integrated digital agency, has capabilities across all spheres of this market opportunity. We are continously re-skilling and re-investing in our people in addition to bolstering our partnerships across the spectrum, from 'Design Thinking' and 'Augmented Reality' right up to 'Machine Learning', 'Real-Time Analytics' and 'Block Chain'. I am looking forward to leading Indigo Consulting's 'design and build' function, and helping it reach the vast potential I see in it."
