Our Story

Built by those who have been in the room.

We started with a simple idea: strategy is more useful when it comes from people who have actually built and sold businesses themselves - not just advised from the sidelines.

That belief comes from real experience.

Our founder, Daniel, has spent over 25 years building and scaling brands from the ground up - across consumer electronics, luxury, and lifestyle. He co-founded dbramante1928, growing it from a first idea into a brand doing €25m in annual revenue and 3.5 million+ units sold across Europe, the US, Canada, ANZ and the UAE - all while building a genuinely credible sustainability story, backed by a WWF partnership, science-based emissions targets, and an invitation from the UN Secretary-General to represent SMEs worldwide at the 2024 Private Sector Forum.

Before that, he co-founded i-minds, a sales representation business that worked with more than 17 global manufacturers to generate over $100m+ in annual revenue, and led UK & Ireland commercial operations for Creative Labs and Sony.

That hands-on experience shapes how we work with every client - we like staying close to the detail, and we care about seeing things through, not just handing over a plan and moving on.

“ampd didn't just hand us a strategy and walk away. They stuck with us until it actually worked - and until it felt like ours, not theirs."
