Testimonials

Great stuff. Thanks for your patience and job well done.

Cameron Dewey, IDH-Capital

I’ve known and worked with Chris for many years on a variety of interesting projects and in all sorts of places around the world. If there is anyone more suited to intricate problem solving and thinking outside of the box for solutions than Chris, you really won’t find them. For ADG, my musical and pro-audio equipment distribution business, Chris has been instrumental for helping me develop and build our industry-class-leading website and B2B dealer portals, while at the same time coming up with some great innovative ways to manage our budget and allow us to minimise excess expenditure on the project. With so much tech development in the online sector that can now be carried out in Asia etc., on the surface there may well be what can initially appear to be lower cost solutions for some of the things Chris does, but they will take you longer, be way more complicated to implement and not be tailored to suit your business needs. Working with DADD is not only rewarding, it is highly recommended!

Chris has accompaigned organicmondays.com since inception, with invaluable advice and beyond the expected input. He has a broad and up to date skill set that he is able to implement himself or consult on. We would highly recommend Chris Dadd & his firm.

DADD has been a reliable partner for nearly a year and continue to support our various needs. They have redesigned our website and provide on-time and accurate edits, upgrades and advice for optimizing its performance. As an overall consultant, DADD have assisted us with other social media tools that have further helped us with our on-line business presence. I highly recommend DADD!

I am absolutely delighted with the beautiful website Chris has created for me. Chris went out of his way to understand the customer experience and has built a website with great functionality. I found working with Chris to be very inspiring and his technical knowledge is second to none. He was enthusiastic, professional, well organised and always calm, working quickly to deliver excellent results. Best of all, Chris taught me how to manage the website myself going forward and techniques for how I can truly prosper using SEO. I would 100% recommend Chris Dadd to anyone who understands the value of a having an attractive and outstandingly functional website for their growing business. Ann Théato

There is a reason that I have worked with Chris for over 20 years. Experience, knowledge, honesty and ability to get the job done according to the brief provided. His advice on all things digital is always much appreciated. No need to go anywhere else!

The time came for me to up my game. Sort my brand. Re-do my website. Finding Chris at the very time I needed business knowledge and acumen as well as creativity was a message from the universe. You see my business offering is complex to say the least with myriad aspects to it. Chris has helped me creatively, technically and supportively. He cares what becomes of my site. Importantly, I have received a number of compliments from top clients and its all down to the expertise of Chris Dadd from his website agency Design And Digital Development

Chris created our web site, Logo’s and pamphlets. He transformed our old website to something spectacular and mobile friendly. Chris is very passionate about what he does and has a eye for the finer details that you have not thought of. If you need help he is the man to call. Totally dedicated! Money well spent thank you Chris.

Dadd has just completed building two websites for my businesses that are already working well. This company is a pleasure to deal with and honest and genuine. My previous experiences with website builders has not been good and working with Chris has been a breath of fresh air even though I still hate computers. His knowledge and advise has given me the confidence to already recommend Dadd to a friend and she is very pleased with the services received too. This company does not do “the hard sell, sell, sell” but actually listened to what I needed from my websites and has delivered more than I could hope for with new clients already being generated. 100% recommend.

Chris produced some imaginative logo ideas and built a website for us which he delivered quickly, listening to what we wanted to achieve from the site.  He is very easy to talk to and accommodating of your needs.

Steve Mills, Managing Director, Decision House

Great friendly and professional service at an affordable rate.

DADD created a superb new mobile friendly website for our building firm maysgroundworks.co.uk. It took them a very short time with little guidance as they understand lots of businesses. They’re easy to work with, particularly for people who aren’t technical. Highly recommend over other local web design companies.

Working with Chris is a pleasure. He helped me with both my logo and web site, he is very responsive, understands the brief and quickly gets you where you need to be. Would I work with Chris again? Yes absolutely and I can see this being an ongoing partnership as my site evolves.

Chris is a highly informed business leader who is comfortable working across all disciplines and sectors.  He joined Softools to bring the commercial acumen that as a growing tech business we needed but lacked, and during his time he contributed to all aspects of the business from strategic planning and product design to front end sales and marketing.  His knowledge combined with his constant enthusiasm, wit and creativity gave our team the confidence needed to go after one of the fastest growing tech sectors today.

DADD scoped out the full business case for an event upgrade package to Money2020.com, creating the value proposition and marketing plan to launch in two weeks from GO. He also created a directory for our members association. Can’t recommend the quality of work enough.

Tony Craddock, CEO

I found the marketing review Chris did for us truly insightful. He lead a new team through some great workshops and helped us transform from a single product e-learning company focussing on Maths to one cross-selling reading and science related products.

Jayne Warburton CEO

DADD really cooked up a great plan to get my website found fast by customers. My original web developer failed to understand Google search results and SEO. Chris redesigned my site and now people can find my customers’ testimonials and the catering services I offer across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and London.

DADD initially rescued me for a campaign earlier this year when my web development company went AWOL and took the keys to our marketing agency’s work. With only 48 hours to go, DADD leapt into action, took control of the situation and delivered a very successful result for my newspaper client. Since then, we’ve worked together on campaigns promoting hotels, swimming courses and beauty spas. DADD’s 24/7 responsiveness, creative talents and understanding of the promotions industry is second to none.

As an interior designer, it’s essential for me to showcase my brand values of contemporary, affordable interior design. DADD took my brief that was as basic as “I want my logo and website to look contemporary, but I can’t describe what I want it to look like until I see it.” With lots of iterations over possible styles for fonts, colour mixes and layouts, DADD read my mind and delivered something that has become my business card, stylish postcard brochures and digital website in weeks. I’ll be going back to ask him for my mobile site and SEO soon I’m sure.

My scuba diving school needed a fresh image to attract more students as the local competition has increased. The website design needed to cover all aspects of course information and be an ecommerce shop for my customers to pay for courses and rental gear.  DADD didn’t have a ‘padi’ about my ever changing requests for logo design, website tweaks and teaching my team how to use the WordPress editor. In fact, I loved my lobster logo so much I put it on my gear van, His A5 leaflet design was superb, so I had 5000 printed immediately.  Then I commissioned DADD to sort out my listing position on google and he had me on page 1 for all the terms I wanted within 2 weeks, saving me a fortune in time and money on Adwords and directories.

I was introduced to DADD in 2011 through a trusted friend who was President at FirstData and now runs a boutique advisory business called anthemis edge. He jumped into helping our charity with both feet and aside from raising funds by climbing Kilimanjaro, his ongoing digital marketing guidance has been phenomenal; sorting out our design, web development (in Joomla) and social media so we can focus on our charity’s purpose, which is to educate children all over Africa to help eradicate poverty.

Astute, creative and innovative. That sums up my experience of working with Chris. He did an excellent job chairing the 5th Mobile Commerce Summit Asia 2012 in Singapore peppering the summit with his expert analysis, adding value and helicopter insight for everyone to appreciate. His engaging personality is contagious, especially apparent when he conducts workshops as he easily gets the whole class lively and active. I will personally recommend him highly as a chairman and workshop/facilitator.”

Herman Zaidin, Conference Director, Neo-Edge, Singapore

I knew Chris at the 5th Mobile Commerce Summit Asia in Singapore (I was one of the invited speaker). Chris is a well organized professional with deep understanding of Mobile Commerce, CRM and Marketing. I very much enjoyed Chris’s chairing of the event, his ability to maximize the contribution of different speakers and his own explanations and opinions regarding the discussed topics. I would recommend Chris as a brilliant event chairman and as great senior professional in the fields of Mobile Commerce and Marketing.

  Dr Tamer Keshi

Chris is fearless when delivering complex change in a large team, serving C level customers. His focus on developing and executing against agreed plans in the first 90 days was impressive. His mobile knowlege and contacts are excellent, together with his passion for innovation and creative thinking.

Jeremy Sewell, COO & CFO, GSMA. Jun’11

Chris was the perfect choice as chair for the inaugural Mobile App World conference. His entertaining and lively approach kept the day running to time and maintained a high interest level throughout. Chris’ knowledge of the mobile industry and of our speakers was obvious to all, and his ability of being able to ask the right question at the right time ensured the audience was kept engaged at all times.

Shaun Pinney, Director, Mobile App World, Nov’10

During the partnership between Sona Mobile and WIN, I had the opportunity to meet Christopher and appreciate his work both as Head of Products and as a MD of WIN Financial. Being passionate about customer, technology and products, he excelled in creating new and innovative solutions for his financial services customers. He made astute business decisions concerning complex mobile operator channel negotiations, contents rights management and product design. Sometimes decisions needed to be made during business planning meetings and be well validated, in other times they had to be made on the spot during a major milestone. Chris understood at all times, if the right choice was not in the list of available options, he worked diligently to build the solution needed to put it on the list. In all of those cases, Christopher made the right choices balancing pragmatism and visioning

John Bush, President, CEO & Founder, Sona Mobile Inc. May’10

Chris is an innovative individual and combines this with attention to detail and a passionate voice of the customer. Chris is a motivational leader and his empowerment and strong mentoring has enabled our team to design and deliver superior customer journeys every time.
