During the global financial crisis, Brisbane’s economy remained unaffected unlike other advanced economies of the world, helping Australia to maintain a strong growth and achieving the 22nd consecutive year of recession free performance and growth. For long, its economic growth has been fuelled by migration of people coming into Brisbane from mostly Southern states attracted by the employment opportunities available.

It further aims to single-handedly embrace the global online market with the release of its digital strategy framed to capitalise 20 trillion dollars by which it will be able to double the number of the local business engaged in the selling of goods and services.

Now more than ever businesses of all sizes are
ensuringthat there are definitive experts involved in their strategy and sales planning.
