Ragnarok was co-founded by childhood friends Spencer Barrett and Steven Aldrich in 2012.

It works across verticals, including e-commerce, media, SaaS, healthcare, and FinTech; clients include Dropbox, Upside, and A+E Networks.
More than just a strategic match, the acquisition was informed by a shared culture and values, as Lohia explains: “Much like Steven and Spencer were friends before founding Ragnarok, Apply Digital was founded on friendships and a desire to build a business that puts relationships first and enhances our people’s lives. We recognize the value this brings to our business – and to our clients. On top of the cultural fit, the Ragnarok team also shares our desire to innovate, which makes a strong foundation for this partnership.”
Steven Aldrich, co-CEO and co-founder of Ragnarok, says: “Apply Digital and Ragnarok share a strategic focus and bring together specialisms in CX, offering a perfect match to help large enterprises accelerate digital transformation. With greater access to data and enhanced capabilities, we will empower clients through true partnership to identify and unlock new opportunities for growth.”
