Strategy, identity and packaging for consumer and corporate brands — understood at a glance, chosen on instinct, remembered for years.

Who we are

We build brands as strategic systems — designed to stand out, and chosen to grow.

DDH is an independent branding agency based in Amsterdam. Founded in 2003, we work across international markets with consumer and corporate brands, with particular experience in FMCG and beverages.

We combine brand strategy, brand identity, packaging design and communication to help businesses express what makes them distinctive. Whether launching a new brand, developing an existing one or rethinking an established identity, we create brand systems designed to work across markets, products and touchpoints.
