Advertising was once the realm of dealmakers and ad creators, where success hinged on smart strategies, robust relationships with media proprietors, and substantial budgets.

Enter the era of digital media. With its vast ocean of data points and the capability for real-time media buying, advertising transformed into a precise science overnight. The balance of power shifted; sheer buying clout was eclipsed by the might of intellectual prowess.

D3 was born in 2018 from a vision to redefine media with greater accountability and a scientific approach rooted in continual testing and learning. Our goal was not just to establish another agency but to create one that we could take pride in — an agency epitomising transparency and impartiality in every aspect of its operation.

Client Relationship Charter

The secret to a successful media/client relationship is a symbiotic way of working that integrates the client's business objectives and internal workings with the agency's processes.

With this in mind, we have developed the “D3 Way”, which is a set of processes and promises that put the client at the very heart of the work we do.

The D3 Client Charter is at the center of this and outlines our commitment to:

  • Transparency is key to building trusted relationships
  • Two-way communication is key to good relationships
  • We’ll endeavour to know your business as well as you do
  • We don't take a cookie cutter approach when working with your business
  • We are always looking for new and innovative ways to do things
  • Your partners are our partners and we treat them that way
  • We are committed to delivering brilliant results 99.9% of the time
  • We’ll challenge you and we encourage you to challenge us
