D2 Interactive

What D2 Interactive does

D2 Interactive (legal entity: Smart Spaces Global Ltd, Company Registration No. 7116878) is a London-based independent creative agency founded in 2010 by the Drogman brothers (Dan and Tom). Operating from Portsoken House, 155-157 Minories (EC3N 1LJ), the firm positions itself as a small, integrated team of approximately 10 creatives, designers, illustrators, animators, front-end and full-stack developers, photographers, and project managers delivering branding, web design, SEO/PPC, social media management, illustration and animation, Matterport 3D virtual tours, in-house photography, copywriting/PR, and concepting/placemaking services. The agency serves both B2B and B2C organizations, with primary verticals being property and real estate (Rathbone Square, Spitalfields, Piccadilly Arcade, Ram Quarter, Endeavour, Unity Working), financial services and banking (Societe Generale, HANetf), professional services (Orbis, Evolve, OV Executive Search, Doherty Baines), and selective luxury retail and recruitment clients.

The underlying technology stack is conventional web and creative tooling rather than a proprietary platform: multi-award-winning website design and development, in-house Matterport 3D capture, technical SEO and paid media (Google Ads, Bing, display, remarketing), and social media management. Notable proprietary capabilities are in-house rather than IP-based: an integrated branding-to-commerce skillset, in-house photography including site and event reportage, and Matterport-based property virtual tours. The firm holds ISO 27001:2013 and 2023 Cyber Essentials certifications, alongside Living Wage Employer accreditation, which reduce enterprise procurement friction.

The business model is professional services on a project-based, custom-quoted engagement structure, with multi-year retainers referenced (e.g., Spitalfields since 2018, ongoing Societe Generale strategic marketing consultancy). The go-to-market is direct, founder-led enterprise and mid-market sales with no channel or reseller layer, marketed through an SEO-optimized website, case-study portfolio, and organic social presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, Facebook). The company is bootstrapped and privately held, with no external funding rounds, acquisitions, or parent-company relationships disclosed.
