What Claxon does

Claxon Pty Ltd is an Australian integrated growth agency that combines four service pillars — Creative Services, Digital Media Solutions, Data Insights, and Experience Solutions — under a unified offering for mid-market and enterprise brands. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Bundall (Gold Coast) with additional offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, the agency delivers projects across Australia, the US, the UK, and Singapore. Its client roster spans retail (Dymocks, Aim'n, Eckersley's, Oroton), wellness (Alpha Fit, Phizz), education (Go1, Euka), professional services (Twomey Dispute Lawyers), agriculture (Kanzi Apples), hospitality (Accor Plus), and government (Major Events Gold Coast).

The underlying technology stack integrates generative AI and machine learning into creative production (Creative AI), media optimisation (AI Optimization), analytics and attribution modelling (Advanced Analytics), and customer experience personalisation, with ClaxonLAB functioning as a dedicated innovation sub-brand developing proprietary solutions. Business model is professional services — project-based fees, retainers, and ongoing campaign management engagements — with quote-based pricing tailored to client scope. Revenue is generated through integrated agency engagements, often beginning with 'growth audits' (creative or media) as entry points that convert into larger mandates. CEO Daniel Willis leads the company, and Claxon expanded capacity in April 2024 via the acquisition of Embark Agency.
