Brian Eisenberg, Future Now

Alkemi owner Nathan Stewart has sold 15% of the company to its long-term New York based business partners, Future Now, for an undisclosed amount. “Obviously they saw potential in the Australian market and Alkemi, which has been growing for a while, and this investment is recognition of that.” Future Now, led by Brian Eisenberg, developed ‘Persuasion Architecture’ and specialises in customer conversion enhancement. Stewart says Alkemi now has seven staff and remains very much a Search company “but to be honest we get most value for our clients through conversion enhancement.”
