What We Actually Do
At Dama PLC, we're branding specialists first and foremost. Our team is a team that lives and breathes visual identity. We create logos that stick in people's minds, design business cards that don't end up in the trash, and craft company profiles that actually get read. Letterheads, flyers, brochures ... if it's printable, we've probably designed thousands of them.
But we don't stop at print. The digital world is where things get really exciting for us. We design graphics that make people stop scrolling. We build websites that don't just look good ... they're actually easily understandable by the user. And over the years, we've developed software products tailored to different sectors because we realized our clients needed more than just pretty designs; they needed custom products that makes their work actually enjoyable.
Design to Connect: What That Actually Means
You've probably heard companies throw around fancy mottos. Ours is "Design to Connect," and here's what that really means in practice: we use both sides of our brain. The right side helps us strategize, understand your market, and figure out what will actually work for your business. The left side? That's where the magic happens... where strategy coupling with creativity and changed into something beautiful.
Who Trusts Us With Their Brand
We've been fortunate to work with some incredible organizations. The African Union trusted us with their branding needs. So did the Ethiopian Steel, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Ethiopian Defence Force. Teklehaymanot General Hospital came to us, as did Harenna Coffee.
These aren't just names we're dropping ... they're relationships we've built, brands we've helped shape, and projects we stay up late thinking about.
Going Beyond Borders
While most of our clients are right here in Ethiopia (and we love that), we've started making waves internationally. We're now working with businesses in Uganda, the United Arab Emirates, and China. We even have an agency partner in Washington DC, USA. It's wild to think that designs created in our Bole office are being used across three continents, but that's the reality of what great work can do.
The Team Behind the Work
Here's the thing about Dama PLC ... we're not a faceless agency. We're 25+ genuinely talented people who happen to be really good at what they do. Our team includes designers who've forgotten more about typography than most people will ever know, developers who can build anything you can imagine, and strategists who see opportunities where others see obstacles.
We call them geniuses, but they'd probably just say they care deeply about their craft. Either way, they're the reason we can promise, and deliver, work at the highest standard possible.
Why We Do This
At the end of the day, we're not just making things look pretty (though we're definitely doing that too). We're helping Ethiopian businesses compete on a global stage. We're taking that coffee exporter in Harenna and giving them a brand that looks as good as their product tastes. We're helping hospitals communicate trust. We're giving startups the visual identity they need to be taken seriously.
That's what six years in the branding game has taught us: design isn't just about aesthetics. It's about connection, communication, and ultimately, success.
