Built for a New Era of Media
Media has evolved beyond channels and impressions. Today, growth depends on how well you connect data, technology, and creativity to drive measurable outcomes.
That’s where D3 operates — at the intersection of intelligence and impact. We’re an independent media agency built for brands that want clarity, not complexity.
Our Purpose
To help ambitious brands make smarter decisions, move faster, and grow sustainably through data-led media strategy and performance.
We combine analytical depth with creative thinking to turn information into advantage — helping our clients see what matters and act on it.
How We Work
We bridge strategy, consultancy, analytics, and media activation to deliver growth across every channel.
Our teams work as an extension of yours — collaborative, transparent, and accountable from first conversation to measurable result.
Because media should never be a black box. It should be a growth engine powered by data, insight, and integrity.
Why We Exist
D3 was founded in 2018 to challenge convention and prove that performance and principles can coexist.
We believe in accountability over opacity, agility over hierarchy, and outcomes over promises.
Our mission remains clear: to redefine media for a world where data, creativity, and technology move in sync — and where every decision drives real business growth.
The Result
Trusted by ambitious brands across New Zealand, Australia, and the United States, D3 continues to push the boundaries of what modern media can achieve — measurable, ethical, and effective.

Why D3?
- Independence with Purpose
We’re not owned by a network or tied to global politics. Independence gives us the freedom to act fast, think clearly, and focus on one thing — what’s right for our clients. - Agility Without the Chaos
|We’re built lean, not small. Our structure lets senior specialists work directly with your team, moving from idea to execution without layers or lag. No red tape — just momentum. - Data-Driven, Human-Led
We believe great media starts with evidence and ends with empathy. Our decisions are grounded in data, but it’s our people who turn that insight into ideas that work in the real world. - Radical Transparency
No hidden margins. No rebates. No mystery spreadsheets. You see what we see — real results, clear reporting, and total accountability at every step. - Collaboration Over Hierarchy
We don’t do silos or titles for the sake of them. Our strategists, analysts, and buyers work as one team, sharing data, ideas, and accountability. The result? Better thinking, faster outcomes. - Focused on What Matters
We don’t chase awards or vanity metrics. We care about measurable growth — helping brands perform better across every part of the media and marketing ecosystem. Straight Talk
You’ll never get jargon or smoke and mirrors from us. We say what we mean, back it with data, and deliver on it. Always.
