Partner, not employee

Most agencies
send you staff.
Zib sends you owners.

Daniel doesn't work at Zib. He partners with Zib. A partner with his name on the shopfront, his capital on the line, and his P&L tied directly to whether your campaigns work. The accountability model every other agency pretends to have, structurally.

The traditional agency employee
Salary, not stake
  • Paid a wage regardless of whether your campaigns hit or miss
  • Juggling 15+ accounts because the agency needs utilisation targets
  • Free to leave tomorrow. Your onboarding starts again on Monday
  • Senior on the pitch, junior on the delivery, nobody on the phone
  • Agency margin is the priority. Client outcome is the output, maybe
The Zib partner
Skin in the game, name on the door
  • Runs his Zib practice. His business succeeds when yours does
  • Focused caseload by design. Every client moves their personal number
  • Committed long-term. Their livelihood is tied to this territory
  • Senior on the pitch, senior on the delivery, same face on the phone
  • Your profit and their profit are structurally aligned. Not a slogan
About Daniel

From AFL pro to digital growth specialist.

A decade-plus in digital technology across financial services, sport, telco, utilities and state government. Daniel is a dynamic operator with a unique blend of technical expertise and relationship craft, a trusted partner for businesses chasing growth.

Before the corporate world, a 160-game AFL career with North Melbourne and the Gold Coast Suns. The same energy and dedication now goes into guiding clients through commercial growth journeys. Strategic, collaborative, results-driven.

Outside of work: golf, family, footy. Inside the business: a Growth Specialist who treats every account like a captaincy role, accountable, in-flight, and tied to your number, not his.

"I treat every campaign like a game I'm playing in. Same focus, same accountability, same drive to win for the team." Daniel Harris, Partner · Zib Digital

Common questions

Questions we actually get asked.

01

What does "Zib partner" actually mean?

Daniel operates as a partner. He's not a Zib employee. His P&L is tied to his clients and outcomes. The incentive model is structurally different from any other agency in the Zib network: when your campaigns work, his business grows. When they don't, his suffers directly. That's why accountability isn't a slogan on this page.

02

Will I be working with Daniel directly, or a junior?

Daniel owns the relationship, the strategic direction and the accountability. A dedicated senior digital manager handles the day-to-day execution across channels, briefed and reviewed by Daniel. So you get two senior brains on your account: partner-level commercial thinking plus senior specialist craft. No juniors running things behind the scenes, no handoff to a service rep.

03

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Trades, manufacturers, wholesalers, professional services, commercial B2B, local retail, ecommerce operators. If the business has a commercial outcome tied to being found on Google (phone calls, form fills, quote requests, online sales), the model applies. The two case studies above show the range: a commercial door manufacturer and a refrigerated transport operator, both running at very different scales.

04

How long does SEO take to show results?

Technical fixes move the needle in weeks. Content and local rankings compound over three to six months. Anyone promising "page one in 30 days" for commercial keywords is either lying or bidding on your brand name. Daniel reports weekly so you see the compounding, not just the finish line.

05

Where does Daniel work?

Daniel works with clients across Australia. Wherever you're based, his team builds the local and national architecture together. If a Zib partner for your region handles you directly. Same model, different face.
