    The truth is we create a certain type of work at DDB Melbourne, and it stems from a very simple philosophy: ‘Make something people love’. In our experience, when you treat consumers with respect, talk to them with wit and intelligence, surprise them and entertain them, very quickly your brand stands out. As a result, we’ve won Australian Campaign of the Year for our clients two years running, with work that’s included everything from TV and content creation, to social media and mobile.Is DDB Melbourne for everyone? No. But if you agree consumers are more likely to connect with a brand they love, and enjoy spending time with, then we’re more than likely the right agency for you.As one of Australia’s largest and most diverse integrated communication agencies DDB Sydney helps clients transform their businesses by using an understanding of humanity, technology and creativity to change behaviour.We believe that in today’s cluttered multi media world, the battle to be heard is fiercer than ever.But as Bill Bernbach would say, people can’t listen to you if you haven’t got their attention and you can’t get their attention if you’re being ignored.At DDB Sydney we believe it’s never been more vital for ideas to be courageous and it’s never been more important to create ideas that inspire, influence and are impossible to ignore.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.
