→ WHY LOCAL HELPS

Local knowledge makes better content

When your audience is local, local knowledge matters. I know the Hull calendar, the events, the communities and the way people here talk, which makes it easier to create content your customers actually connect with.

And because I'm close by, I can capture content in person when it's useful, from events to behind-the-scenes shots of your business.

→ MEET THE FOUNDER

Hi, I'm Danielle Madden.
Nice to meet you.

A woman with blonde hair sitting at a round table with a laptop, a pink notebook, and a pen, smiling at the camera in a well-lit room with patterned wallpaper and blue curtains.

I started dmads, short for digital marketing and design studio, because businesses deserve creative work that's actually good. Not rushed, not templated, not handed off to someone who doesn't know your brand.

You might know me from MADS or WebsByMADS; well, dmads‍ ‍brings both together in one place, making it easier to get everything you need without bouncing between two sites.

I've been working in marketing and design for over ten years, with clients ranging from solo freelancers to global brands.

Whatever the size of the project, you'll always deal directly with me, no account managers, no miscommunication, no nasty surprises.

Based in Hull. Working everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Take a look at the FAQ or reach out anytime.

  • Yes, absolutely. I work with businesses right across Hull, Beverley, Hessle, and the wider East Riding of Yorkshire, as well as clients further afield.

  • Not at all. Everything can be handled remotely via video call, email, and shared documents. If you're local and prefer to meet in person though, that can always be arranged.

  • Definitely. A lot of my clients are small, independent Hull businesses. You don't need a big budget or a complicated brief to get started, just a clear idea of what you want to achieve.

  • No, dmads works with clients across the UK and worldwide. The Hull page exists because I'm proud to support local businesses, but location is never a barrier.

  • Once we've had our discovery call and you're happy with the proposal, most projects can kick off within one to two weeks depending on availability.

  • For most local businesses, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn are the main ones, but I'll recommend the right mix for your audience rather than spreading you across everything.

  • Community management can be added and is quoted separately, so you only pay for it if you need it.

  • Yes, being local makes that easy. Photography and filming are quoted separately and can be added to any plan.
