About David

Digital marketing
that levels up
local businesses.

I'm David — a digital marketer with 15 years of hands-on experience, based right here in Northamptonshire. I started DB Digital because I believe local SMEs deserve marketing that's genuinely strategic, completely transparent, and built around real growth — not agency tick-boxes.

I've spent 15 years working across the full spectrum of digital marketing — from fast-moving paid campaigns to long-game SEO strategies, brand builds to email programmes.

That experience spans a wide range of industries and business sizes, but there's always been a consistent thread: the businesses I enjoy working with most are the ones with real ambition. The independent retailers, the professional services firms, the tradespeople and the hospitality operators — the SMEs and SMBs that are serious about growth but don't have a marketing department behind them.

That's why I set up DB Digital. I wanted to take everything I'd learned in 15 years and put it directly to work for businesses in and around Northamptonshire — without the overhead, the account management layers, or the agency markup that too often gets in the way.

When you work with me, you get me. Not a junior account manager passing on my recommendations — me, directly involved in your strategy, your campaigns, and your results from day one.

My mission is simple:
level up Northamptonshire's SMEs.

Too many brilliant local businesses are being held back by inconsistent marketing, wasted ad spend, or a digital presence that doesn't do them justice. I'm here to change that — one business at a time.

Make great marketing accessible

Enterprise-level strategic thinking, applied to SME budgets and SME goals. No watered-down service — the real thing, scaled proportionately.

Keep it honest and straightforward

You'll always know what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and what it's delivering. Clear reporting, no jargon, no hiding behind complexity.

Build long-term partnerships

I'm not interested in short engagements. I want to become a trusted part of how your business grows — someone who understands your market as well as you do.

Stay ahead so you don't have to

AI, GEO, platform changes, algorithm updates — I track it all so your strategy is always current, and you can focus on running your business.

What I Bring

15 years of
hands-on expertise.

Every discipline is applied with the same commercial focus and attention to detail.

Paid & Organic Social

Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok — both the paid campaigns that drive immediate results and the organic presence that builds trust over time. I manage both sides so they work together, not in isolation.

SEO & GEO

Traditional search engine optimisation, plus the emerging discipline of Generative Engine Optimisation — getting your business found not just on Google, but in AI-powered answers and overviews.

Email Marketing

Campaigns and automation sequences that convert. From first welcome email to re-engagement flow — designed to build relationships and drive repeat business without needing your constant attention.

AI Integration

Helping SMEs use AI tools practically and effectively — from content production to campaign analysis, and from optimising your presence for AI search results to training your team to work smarter.

Brand Management

Defining your positioning, sharpening your message, and making sure every customer touchpoint feels consistent and credible — the foundation everything else is built on.

Reputation Management

Proactively building your online reputation — reviews, listings, mentions, and sentiment — so that when potential customers look you up, what they find gives them every reason to choose you.

Rooted in Northamptonshire

Local knowledge.
Real relationships.

I'm not a remote agency sending templated reports. I'm a Northamptonshire-based marketer who understands this county, its business community, and the customers you're trying to reach.

Whether you're in Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Daventry, or anywhere in between — I know the local landscape, and I bring that context to every strategy I build. That means more relevant targeting, more resonant messaging, and marketing that actually connects with your local audience.

I work with businesses across the county and surrounding areas, and I'm always happy to meet in person. Good marketing is built on good relationships — and that starts with actually understanding your business.
