I’m Tip Gloria, the founder of Digital Tip. My career began in video and TV production before shifting into digital in 1998, working on early web and data-driven projects.
After running my own digital design business for 8 years, I returned to agency life, leading projects for top Australian brands like Aussie Home Loans, World Vision, Optus, and Steggles, as well as global names including Microsoft, Revlon, LG, and Colgate at agencies such as M&C Saatchi, VML, SapientRazorfish, and Leo Burnett.
Alongside my agency work, I helped grow Social Media Club Sydney into the largest chapter globally, hosting keynote events (including MC Hammer!) and speaking regularly at industry conferences and workshops.
In 2014, I went freelance—just as I became a mum—and over the past 15+ years I’ve worked across nearly every sector, from health and wellness to fashion, technology, FMCG, government, and QSRs.
Since COVID, I’ve focused heavily on the health sector, supporting hospitals, specialists, skincare brands, and wellbeing practitioners with smart digital and social strategies.

"Tip is known by colleagues and clients as 'The Queen of Social'. Tip was and often still is my absolute go-to person for all things social and digital strategy.
Tip and I have known each other for years, and I have watched her journey in her career unfold. I hired Tip a few years ago to help me with my website rebrand and coaching business I was developing. Her knowledge and expertise were incredibly valuable, and I am grateful for all the work and time she put in that contributed to me kicking some big goals in my business and life. Without her involvement in my business journey, I would not be achieving personal and professional growth and success like I am today.
When it comes to amplifying any idea in the social space, or simply exploring its possibilities, Tip has always been my 'go to' person. She is a walking encyclopedia of information, insight and truly strategic thinking in her field. All delivered with the authority and conviction of someone who is both passionate about what they do and an unquestionable expert. I recommend Tip without reservation.
I think the best way to describe Tip is she is a force. No matter what project she is involved in, you know she is in it 150%. Yes, she has outstanding strategic technical skills-most notably in Social Strategy. But for me it is her unstoppable energy and positive determination that make her fantastic to work with. She is truly one of a kind!
We've been working with Tip for several years to build the company platform and website. What sets Tip apart is her strong commitment to privacy and confidentiality. This level of trust and transparency is essential for businesses seeking a reliable, secure solution for their online presence. Additionally, the customer service is exceptional—responsive, knowledgeable, caring and always available to discuss concerns or assist with updates and changes. This outstanding support makes it a reliable and trusted solution for businesses looking to maintain a secure and professional online presence.
