They function as an online dating site, and helps them to connect in 3 simple steps: (i) Companies leave their project; (ii) Agencies see the project and pitch for it; (iii) Companies then decide whether or not to contact the agencies for further discussions. Through this process, TDA makes it possible for any company and any digital agency to meet no matter where they are in the world without needing to leave their office.
