Our Story
Doesn’t follow the traditional marketing agency narrative.
In 2020, Australia experienced COVID-19 lockdowns. Our lead generation, which was traditional word of mouth, in-person networking and referrals, dried up almost overnight. No coffee catchups. No in-person events. We tried Zoom and phone calls, but they didn’t have the same impact. Kym Wallis, Higher Ranking’s Founder and Director, had to think on his feet – and fast.
Before COVID hit, he dabbled with better ways to get his message in front of the right people, at scale. He saw the opportunities LinkedIn offers for reliable lead generation. Its large user base (one billion members) and filtered targeting – through Sales Navigator – can get you in front of the right people, in the right location and the right time. But how do you do this at scale, especially if don’t have the time or resources of a sales team behind you?
That’s when Kym’s “aha” moment hit: Fully managed lead generation software that combines the best of automation technology with human sales touch, plugged into LinkedIn. After a year of refinement, voilà! High Ranking’s unique B2B lead generation software platform was launched.

Been working with Kym and the Higher Ranking team now for almost a year and can say everything promised has been delivered and more. Our managed campaigns have helped me have much more relevant conversations with key targets and helped to elevate our brand in the market.
The HR team are so responsive and are such great advisors both pre, during and post campaign. I would recommend working with the Higher Ranking team to anyone who is looking to increase the amount of good quality leads into their business and look forward to many more years of successful partnership.

Danny Innes - Tennis Australia
When I first met with Kym and Ed it was the end of an exhausting road of trying to navigate the digital marketing space. I had the door shut in my face so many times. I was overwhelmed by the complexity, frustrated by the lack of interest, and about to give up. Then I found Higher Ranking and they changed everything. Kym was patient and kind, his expertise, experience and knowledge, immediately obvious. His confidence in me, and what I was trying to achieve, made me trust. I have not looked back. You won’t either. Do not hesitate. If you don’t have these guys as part of your digital marketing strategy, you are missing out.

After moving to Higher Ranking we have noticed substantial gains across all positive aspects of ranking performance thanks to the targeting campaigns suggested by the team – it has been a very productive relationship to date. Kym is always accessible, offering ideas and solutions to our specific needs. We highly recommend using Higher Ranking – our dealings with them have been a welcome change over previous digital providers.

Who we are
Meet the experts behind 
Higher Ranking.
Kym Wallis
Kym isn’t your average digital agency founder. In fact, in a past life many years ago, he was a ballet dancer!
For over 20 years, however, he’s been an expert in performance based digital marketing. He’s been responsible for building thousands of successful relationships with clients for companies like ReachLocal, IBM, and his own company, Higher Ranking.
Kym is a dedicated leader who wakes up every day with a strong desire to improve the lives of his clients, staff, family, and himself. He brings an infectious level of enthusiasm and energy to every interaction he has.
When he’s not working, Kym loves embracing the vibrant life in Melbourne. He cherishes spending quality time with his wife and enjoys outdoor activities like riding his bike with his two children and their two Huskies, Malibu and Angel.
Ed Ryan
If you’ve ever wondered who the technical mastermind behind Higher Ranking’s software is, look no further.
Ed is our B2B Demand Generation Specialist, helping our clients go from strength to strength in their prospecting.
When he’s not helping businesses smash their sales and marketing goals, Ed enjoys playing cricket and soccer, hanging out with his rescue pup, Pip, and putting his amateur handyman skills to use around the house
Thanks for everything you do, Ed. We love having you around.
Penny Ryan
Meet our wonderful Executive Assistant, Penny Ryan.
An expert in business management, administration and communication, Penny is invaluable to our work at Higher Ranking. Her professional, calm and optimistic attitude has helped us go from strength to strength as a business.
Thanks for everything you do, Penny. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without you.
