The agency's only documented owned product is the Digital Advantage Corona Bot, a Facebook Messenger chatbot launched in 2020 to disseminate COVID-19 information, which reached 178,000 users and generated 25,000 engagements.

Digital Advantage operates a sales-led go-to-market model, acquiring enterprise clients through direct engagement and showcasing capabilities through a public portfolio of case studies with documented reach and engagement metrics (including 10m+ YouTube views for the Gorkha Anthem campaign, 8m+ reach for the Carlsberg World Cup 2018 campaign, and 10m+ impressions for the Merojob rebranding). The firm employs approximately 14 people across business development, design, copy, accounts, and operations, and is privately held within the Advantage Group corporate structure with no disclosed external funding. No revenue, headcount growth, or post-2020 operational signals are publicly available.
