About Trade-Ads

Trade-Ads was registered in 1998

by Damian and Melanie Witham. We are a small family business with Damian doing the creative stuff and Melanie doing the money stuff. It's a good combination that allow's Damian to concentrate on providing efficient and effective solutions to our varied clients.

Damian holds a Bachelor of Arts (Graphic Design) in which he studied in the country Victorian town of Bendigo at La Trobe University. It's here that he learnt the basic theories of design and because the computer did not play a large part in the industry at that time, he learnt the 'old ways'.

Since graduating in 1994, Damian has been in the design industry, working for just 2 companies over 7 years. In his early years of experience Damian provided training materials for companies such as Ansett, Avis, TNT, Traveland, SalesForce, AAT Kings, Qantas & Air Pacific to name a few. Materials such as interactive CD-Rom based presentations, corporate training videos, tender documents and advertising collateral added to the skillset he was able to obtain by working in such a fast-paced varied environment.

Damian formed Trade-Ads during the final years of his full-time employment and hasn't looked back. We now have clients all over world, yet still manage to service the small local operators in our small tourist town of Lakes Entrance.
