For Daniel Shub, marketing isn’t just about transactions—it’s about transformation. His journey into the world of marketing and design reflects his passion, innovation, and dedication to human connection, making his approach uniquely relatable.
Daniel’s path began in his family’s retail business, where he honed a deep understanding of business operations and customer engagement. This formative experience ignited his interest in design and technology, leading him to study graphic design and hand-code his first website. These early ventures propelled him into the world of digital design and marketing. His ability to blend technical expertise with visual problem-solving naturally evolved into a career dedicated to creating impactful customer experiences.
“When I started my career in design over 20 years ago, I noticed a lack of connection between the real world and the online experience. The internet was still young and I foresaw the impact it would have. It inspired me to help businesses build something more effective and cohesive”, Daniel reflects.
In 2016 Daniel founded DKS Design with a clear vision: to prioritize experience-driven marketing. Based in Atlanta, Daniel’s agency helps clients navigate an ever-evolving digital landscape by focusing on branding, technology, including AI integration and promotional strategies.
The agency’s “experiential marketing” mantra is more than a tagline. It underscores Daniel’s belief in designing campaigns that go beyond aesthetics to shape impactful customer journeys. “Whether it’s an internal experience for employees or the external journey of a potential customer, it’s about making every interaction meaningful,” Daniel explains.
DKS Design’s offerings include:
One of Daniel’s standout innovations is SignStream, a software-as-a-service platform that simplifies digital signage for businesses in any vertical. This commitment to innovation and streamlining complex processes excites Daniel and his team. From creating dynamic TV displays to enabling cross-promotions between businesses, SignStream reflects Daniel’s dedication to empowering businesses with intuitive, scalable solutions.
“SignStream bridges the divide between small businesses and large enterprises; with an app on smart TVs and a commercial hardware device option. The system is designed to be as user friendly as possible. Users love the graphic optimization feature making it easy to upload content created on any app and not fussing with templates, resizing, and reformatting,” he says.
Daniel’s approach to business is rooted in a ‘people-first philosophy ‘, emphasizing trust, transparency, and empathy. “I anchor my business on full transparency and open communication,” he says. This approach ensures clients feel heard and supported throughout their marketing journey, fostering a collaborative and productive relationship.
His professional experience and personal milestones, such as becoming a father, shaped his insight into human behavior. “Having kids has reshaped how I see the world. It’s taught me about prioritization and clear communication—skills I use daily with my clients.”
Daniel’s dedication extends beyond his business. He actively supports nonprofits like Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta, which provides meals to needy children, and the Computer Museum of America, which preserves technological innovations.
“I love working with organizations that provide value to those who might not find it otherwise,” Daniel shares.
Daniel Shub offers a unique marketing approach, focusing on experience-driven strategies that go beyond traditional methods. His ability to cut through industry jargon and deliver practical, impactful solutions sets him apart, making him an ideal partner for businesses seeking more than just marketing services.
“I’ll tell you if I don’t think we’re a good fit. It’s about solving problems and delivering results, not just selling services,” Daniel asserts.
As Daniel continues to provide creative solutions for his clients, he also makes it a priority to keep up with market trends and technology. This benefits his clients by streamlining processes and keeping expenses down.
For DKS Design marketing isn’t just a job—it’s a craft, a calling, and a way to create meaningful experiences. In a bustling city like Atlanta, that’s exactly the vision businesses need.
