Our hearts are set on embracing change
PILGRIM BLUE is a hard to define but in practice we are much, much more than a traditional agency or consultancy. We seek to leave old models behind and craft new models that suit our clients' needs. Pilgrim Blue is comprised of digital natives with tech savviness across countless channels. Whether we’re engaging in a social marketing campaign or native app development, our solutions take all digital factors into account.
We are fearless
First and foremost, we know that the one quality that sets the successful from the rest of the pack is the ability to embrace change. Technology doesn’t take its time and neither do we. Our skillset is constantly evolving with the market.
Our services are integrated
We avoid one-off projects or short cuts. In our experience, the best way to strike out on a voyage is to chart a fresh path for each journey's individual needs. We assemble teams that can address every affected touchpoint.
Versatility is a premium
We believe that the most underrated skill in technology is adaptability. We strive to build teams that embody versatility and have a top-notch network of collaborators that can tackle any project.
consistency over chaos
Innovation inherently invites chaos. We strive to mitigate that by developing a culture of consistency. We don’t create a working model ad-hoc for every client. We make small adaptations to a process that we know works.
About Our Founder - Matthew Carver
Matthew began developing software at 15 years old, launching open source, free-to-use applications that interfaced with AOL Instant Messager. In his adult years he pursued his passion of digital art through design and videography. After years of directing short films, crafting custom animations, and designing collateral, he pivoted back to his first love, the internet. Matt was an early adopter of Responsive Web Design and in 2014 published “The Responsive Web” though Manning Publications.
After finding success in Dallas, Matthew moved to New York City to test his metal in the cut-throat world of New York digital agencies, working for Big Spaceship and Code and Theory, two of the most innovative digital agencies of our time. He continued his trajectory of learning by experience by moving client side by joining The Standard Hotels to launch One Night, a new way of turning wasted inventory into a new, low cost, revenue stream. After 6 years of grinding it out in the big city, Matthew moved back home to Texas looking for a better life in Austin.
When not working with clients Matthew is a photographer and woodworker, making furniture for his new home since, since as he puts it “Design Within Reach is too damn expensive”. For more on Matthew, his photography, and his woodworking projects visit his site, matthewcarver.com.
