Hey, Chai and Martin 👋
We think that Luminary and Perpetual could make a winning combination. So we've put together this page to highlight what our team has to offer and just how amazing our partnership could be 🙌
Firstly, an introduction...
Luminary (n). One who has attained eminence in their field. One who inspires. Luminary supports, protects and leads the way.
Who is Luminary? Well, we're a team of 50+ digital experts who share a passion for the work we do. The meaning of our name is what guides us every step of the way.
This showreel video provides a bit more of a background to our agency, and a snapshot of some of the fantastic clients we work with.
