Professional expertise, unified vision
AC Agency represents an unconventional approach to digital consulting: complete cross-disciplinary expertise delivered through a single professional. Alan Curtis brings over 25 years of continuous evolution in the digital landscape, from IT education through web development to current AI integration strategies.
This is not a traditional agency structure.
It's the coherent application of accumulated knowledge, strategically enhanced by a network of specialists when specific technical depths are required.
FROM TEACHING TO TRANSFORMATION
Professional growth
The journey began in 1997 teaching computer basics for associations and professional schools throughout Trieste and Friuli Venezia Giulia, in courses funded by the European Social Fund and beyond. This educational experience transformed into the ability to translate technical complexity into words understandable to everyone, from technicians to managers.
Web development started in 1999 almost as a game, but soon transformed into work that replaced the previous one, then evolved into SEO, hosting management, email marketing and more... and now also AI integration in business.
Since 2017 Alan operates from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, as AC Agency.
My first internet connection happened in the early 1990s in Trieste, well before the Web became available in Italy, and home internet only started spreading at the end of the decade. At that time, I used a classic 2400-baud modem (bits per second, not kb!) and a text-only terminal to connect to local Bulletin Board Systems (BBS).
I was quite involved in that early digital community, and I connected multiple times a day to download Fidonet messages that I exchanged with other users in my city, other pioneers like me, we could say. But the nearest Internet server at that time was in Milan, so I dialed that number starting with "02..." and listened with a certain excitement to the classic modem handshake:
"Pzzzz, Frsssh, Shhhhh...".
That first experience completely absorbed me, even though I've blocked out the details.
But I remember very well the shock on my father's face when he saw a four-hour long-distance call on our phone bill. - Alan Curtis
