Keith West

Founder and CEO

Keith has been helping businesses with Internet marketing since 1996. From the first static websites, through affiliate networks, banner advertising, search advertising, data driven sites and now social media marketing, he has participated in the every phase of the rapidly evolving Internet.

One constant among many changes is the difficulty most traditional businesses have had in taking advantage of the opportunities. Internet marketing requires a complicated blend of technical and marketing skills that few businesses are able to pull together in house. Having run an agency, Keith is also aware that the other option of completely outsourcing your digital marketing faces high communication hurdles. That is becoming even more so as social marketing requires much more input than a static website.

Keith started digiforce to address the need of getting digital marketing done without committing to permanent employees of facing the unknowns of dealing with an agency.

Prior to immersing himself in the Internet, Keith was a pilot in the Navy. He still enjoys flying on the weekends, sometimes taking his two young sons for rides.
