Full-service digital agency specializing in .NET experience platforms and marketing integration
Appius is a 25-year-old digital agency focused on marketing technology and content platforms, with deep expertise in Sitecore, Optimizely, and Sitefinity. The tech stack reveals a mature .NET shop (ASP.NET MVC, Entity Framework, Azure DevOps) paired with modern front-end tooling (Vue, React, Bootstrap), but no adopting or replacing signals suggest the core platform mix is stable. Hiring is decelerating across a small, balanced team, with leadership gaps visible in the only recent role posted in the last 30 days.
