What Dd com does

DD/COM (legal entity: DD COM AG) is a full-service Swiss communication arts agency headquartered at Seefeldstrasse 301, 8008 Zürich, founded in 1998. The agency provides integrated marketing communication and brand management services to medium and large enterprise clients, organized around three internal role models: Brand Builder (Markenbauer), Brand Guardian (Markenhüter), and Brand Visionary (Markenvisionär). Its service portfolio spans seven core disciplines: Strategy, Branding & Design, Campaigning, Web & Digital, Social Media, Content, and Events, plus Motion and Shootings as additional capabilities.

The agency's core business model is professional services delivered on a project and retainer basis through direct, long-term client partnerships rather than through a productized or platform-based architecture. Revenue is generated primarily through sustained engagements with anchor enterprise clients across diversified verticals — notably automotive (Škoda Schweiz, lead agency since 2006), jewelry (MEISTER Schmuck for over 20 years; Girello), fashion and retail (Ochsner Shoes; Studio Amo), manufacturing (4B windows), sports (Golfyr, Ryder Cup 2023), and cultural institutions (Zoo Basel since 2022). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. DD/COM is founder/owner-operated under Creative Director and Inhaber Daniel Müri, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or institutional backing.

The firm operates approximately 23 team members across creative direction, art direction, finance, consultancy, graphic design, motion design, social media management, front-end development, and desktop publishing functions. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct enterprise engagement, supported by a portfolio-based website, Instagram (@ddcom_zurich), and LinkedIn presence. DD/COM holds memberships in Leading Swiss Agencies and Gislerprotokoll (industry associations) and partners with ClimatePartner for sustainability positioning. The company is privately held, profitable in posture (no disclosed funding rounds), and serves primarily the DACH regional market.
