what is dot + del?
dot + del was founded by stalwart marketeer Susie Fraser on the belief that good communication drives change. Our story starts with people who broke barriers and continues with a team using marketing as a force for good. Dot stands for dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, while del stands for delivery.
So, what’s in a name? This is a tribute to Susie’s parents who were leading lights of the media industry in the 70’s and 80’s and who were affectionately known as Dot and Del.
dot
Dot (Dorothy Webster) broke the glass ceiling for women journalists and was a dedicated advocate of equality. She supported many good causes throughout her life and always championed the underdog.
