Digital Seed germinated in the creative business minds of a team of software, human growth, and marketing experts at a company called eLuminate, Inc. Our team has identified a massive need in the marketplace for more effective communications tools between the distinct generational audiences within many organizations. What ever you know or believe is of little value to others until it is shared in a convincing and credible way. What we do is help you collect, manage, and deliver the knowledge within your organization to a specific audience in a variety of ways. We allow this knowledge to be conveyed to your audience in a format that best suits their learning style and/or buying habits.
