After five years of growing Alley Interactive into the premier digital development agency for the media, education, and entertainment industries, the partners at the firm have announced new leadership roles among the executive team. These new titles will position the firm for sustainable and rapid growth, as well as clarify and explain what it is that we all do here.

Co-founder and Managing Partner Austin Smith is now Alley’s CEO, while co-founder and Managing Partner Matt Johnson has been named CTO. Partner Brad Campeau-Laurion is Alley’s Chief Strategy Officer and Partner Matt Boynes has been named VP of WordPress Platform Services. 

What that means: 

As CEO, Austin will focus on servicing Alley’s clients, developing new business, and ensuring that Alley’s culture grows intelligently with the company.  

As CTO, Matt Johnson will head up all of Alley’s broad technology initiatives and look towards providing our clients with the most advanced solutions for their digital needs.
