Click Creative Celebrates 21 Trips Around the Sun
For two decades, Click Creative has been at the forefront of the digital revolution, helping businesses of all sizes navigate the ever-evolving online landscape. As we celebrate our 21st anniversary, we take a moment to reflect on our journey and the remarkable transformations we’ve witnessed alongside our valued clients.
The Origin Story
Our story begins in 2003, a time when dial-up connections were the norm and the dot-com bubble had just burst. Can you imagine explaining what a website even was to a business owner back then? Crazy, right? Click Creative emerged in this pioneering era, on a mission to educate the world about the internet’s potential. We were trailblazers in a landscape dominated by the mighty Yellow Pages. Fast forward to today, and it’s hard to imagine a world without websites – a testament to the incredible shift Click Creative has witnessed and helped shape.
At the helm was Darryn Thomas, our visionary leader who steered the Click Creative ship from a humble Fitzroy Street office in St Kilda. Around 2006, our reputation for crafting top-notch custom web applications started attracting bigger names. We became the go-to agency for businesses drowning in manual processes, eager to embrace the digital revolution. Back then, Yahoo was the search engine king, but the rise of Google and PPC advertising opened a new frontier in our service offerings. We quickly became masters of SEO and PPC, helping businesses navigate the ever-changing search engine landscape.
Resilience Through Challenges
The year 2010 saw the global financial crisis hit, but Click Creative wasn’t fazed. We used this time as an opportunity to solidify our foundation and expand our horizons. We moved to our South Yarra headquarters, a space that reflected our growing team and the size of the projects we were tackling. This period marked a turning point, as we began collaborating with global brands on even larger ventures.
The pandemic threw the world a curveball, but Click Creative wasn’t about to be grounded. We championed remote work, ensuring our entire team remained employed. This shift was fueled by the unwavering support of our loyal clients who were rapidly pivoting their businesses online. In fact, this challenging time presented new opportunities, and we landed several large projects that kept everyone busy and honed our ability to adapt to unforeseen circumstances.
The Click Creative of Today
Click Creative Melbourne is a vibrant tapestry woven from talented individuals, each bringing their unique experiences and perspectives to the table.

Just like many Collingwood locals, we have a serious love affair with coffee, and our open-plan office space is a hub of creativity and teamwork. But we’re more than just a bunch of caffeine-fueled web designers.
