dms CREATiVE CELEBRATES 30 YEARS

This year dms CREATiVE celebrates 30 years since the original formation of the business as Downs Media Services.

Downs Media Services was established in 1983 as a publishing and editorial business and over time has grown to specialise in graphic design and marketing.

Current owners Mark & Kym Ebenestelli took over Downs Media Services in 2006 and in 2008 also purchased The ASF Group, another long-standing Toowoomba Agency. This merger allowed the addition of services including copywriting and media planning & placement.

By 2009, the primary focus of Downs Media Services was graphic design and marketing solutions and a name change was needed to more accurately reflect this. In 2010, dms CREATiVE was formed and continues to be one of the leading advertising agencies and creative design studios in Toowoomba.

With a staff of 7, including both owners actively working in the business, dms CREATiVE has stayed relevant over the last 30 years by evolving its product offering and areas of speciality, from editorial and publishing services in the 1980’s to now offering the whole spectrum of marketing services including strategy, design, social media and advertising solutions.

“We provide more than just a design service, we take the time to understand your business and develop a strategy to ensure your investment in marketing and design services will maximise every opportunity to grow your business. We are about providing the right tools to help businesses attract more customers and sell more product” said Mark Ebenestelli.
