Adelaide and Melbourne integrated agency for branding, advertising, websites and production
About Simple
Simple is an integrated marketing agency with its main base on King William Road in Unley, an inner suburb of Adelaide, and a second studio in Collingwood, Melbourne. Three founders started it, each leading one discipline: brand, digital and advertising. It was founded in 2007 (some listings say 2005), and its graphic design has won awards every year since. The current leaders are David Stocker (managing director and head of strategy), Pat Parisi (creative director), Sam Stevens (digital director) and Taylor Martin (general manager). The agency has more than 40 specialists across its two cities (some listings say 11 to 50 staff).
This is a full-service creative shop, not a search agency. Its nine capability areas are branding, advertising, websites, in-house photo, film and sound production, digital marketing, graphic design, strategy, packaging, and 3D and motion design. Its digital marketing places brands in search results, social feeds and news pages with targeted, measured campaigns. The agency does not publish a separate SEO method, Google Business Profile service or review-management offer. It has no fixed house style and adapts to each brief, and its values are humble, hungry and human.
Its healthcare evidence is one large project: the Royal Adelaide Hospital, completed in 2017. For that job Simple built the brand, launch materials and a new website. It tested the site structure with patients, carers, staff and volunteers, ran an accessibility audit, and built an interactive vector map to help people find their way around the building. It also produced direct mail for neighbours and guides for staff. The tour booking page took 10,000 visits in its first two hours without slowing the site. No dental practice appears in its published work.
Other named clients include Penley, which won five AADC awards with the agency, The Whitsundays, Ray White, The Candle Establishment, Joule Energy, WEST and the SMSF Association. Simple has won multiple Effie Awards and appears often on Campaign Brief's Hot and Cold chart.
For a dental group, Simple is best suited to brand-level work. That could mean a new name and identity, signage and interior graphics for a new site, a launch campaign or a large custom website with accessibility built in. A single practice looking for monthly local SEO with ranking reports would find no published offer or evidence for that here. No pricing, retainer terms or reporting cadence are published.
