How Grow Global Supports Agencies

Delivery can be fully managed by Grow Global or co-delivered with your internal teams and local partners.
We design and deliver AI-enhanced digital growth programmes tailored to your programme objectives, sector focus and regional priorities.

Market Analysis

Digital Readiness Scorecards

A structured digital readiness assessment for individual businesses within a cohort, showing their current digital presence on a scorecard, identifying gaps and highlighting priority opportunities for growth. These insights can inform the design and focus of a wider digital growth programme.

Digital Benchmarking

A clear analysis of the digital maturity and international visibility of a cohort of businesses at country, region, sector or programme level. It compares current performance with international best practice, providing practical recommendations in a report on how the country, region or sector can strengthen its global digital competitiveness.

Business Digital Growth

International Digital Audits

A clear, practical review of the digital presence of businesses within a cohort, analysing websites, e-commerce stores, online marketplace listings and digital marketing channels. Each participating company receives a detailed audit that pinpoints what’s working, what’s holding them back, summarised in a personalised priority Digital Action Plan to prepare for or optimise international growth.

Digital Presence Build & Optimisation

Hands-on support to help participating businesses refresh, strengthen and optimise their websites, e-commerce platforms and key digital channels so their online presence is professional, credible, visible and capable of generating international leads and sales.

Digital Coaching

Digital Impact Reporting

At the end of the programme, production of a comprehensive impact report illustrating programme results, insights and outcomes to demonstrate value for money, economic impact and programme success to stakeholders and funders.
