DDM’s Services
Branding. Websites. Design, Marketing. Social. Strategy.
I’m proudly based in Hawke's Bay. I work with businesses across the region, and throughout NZ.
I work with good people from orchards and vineyards, to the offices and workshops, and all the cosy businesses in between.
I genuinely love this mix of work. One minute I'm talking septic tanks, the next I'm working on a luxury wine brand. Keeps things interesting!

Case Study↓
increase in Countdown sales in just 2 weeks!
+25%
Client:
Nibblish, healthy dried fruit snacks.
I worked with Nibblish to create 3 different YouTube ads to run across three different target audiences. Nibblish, which is based in Havelock North, wanted to expand their reach, so we worked with a local Napier based videography comapny to create an ad that targets parents to put healthy kids fruit snacks in their lunch boxes, women who like boojee platters, and active people who need a snack once they have had their lunchtime run after work.
We created 3 different length ads for each of the three audiences, 6 seconds, 15 seconds and 30 seconds. These are the times that you can’t click through in YouTube. The results for these ads, increased sales by 25% in Countdown after just 2 weeks running which was incrediable!
Another initiative, was to create a “Give A Nibble” campaign to tag, share and grow the Nibblish dried fruit snack.
This was a fun project! I was able to work with a local creative video production company, as the creative director for this project. I was also the voice over, and the main animation character!
The name Nibblish, comes from two words. Nibble, and Delish. I wanted to show this in an animation at the end of the ads, that expressed a playful mixing up of the two words. There were different colours which were used at the end of the ads, depending on the colour of the packaging. This was a really fun project! They were produced as squares, rectangles both horizontal for TV and computer screens, and vertical for phones.

Not sure where to start?
Maybe your logo feels a bit tired.
Or maybe your website hasn't had any love for years.
Your social media is all over the show and is in desperate need of attention.
Maybe you're launching something new and don't know where to begin.
