Rise has run founder-led since 2019: two managing directors on every account, a small senior team behind them, and one very closely supervised AI. No junior shuffle, no outsourcing, no mystery about who is touching your business.
Mike came to Rise from web design, working with small business owners across Brisbane through a branding and printing background. Along the way he ran his own projects that lived or died on leads, which is where the obsession with measurable results comes from.
At Rise he leads strategy and the technical side of the agency: the systems, the builds, and the standards every account has to meet before anything ships.

Den started as a creative graphic designer helping Brisbane businesses stand out. Years of watching clients pay agencies without knowing what they were getting became the founding grudge Rise is built on, and the reason everything here shows its work.
He runs business development and client relationships, including the free 30-minute strategy sessions. If you book a call with Rise, you are talking to Den.
