The People and Purpose Behind Digital Three Sixty
Every small business represents someone’s ambition, hard work and hope for what comes next. Digital Three Sixty helps South African SMEs build their online presence and reach more customers through practical digital marketing support.
Marius Schutte
Founder & Owner
Marius leads Digital Three Sixty with a belief in what small businesses can achieve when they have the right support. He wants clients to feel they can trust the advice they receive and rely on us to be honest about what may help their business grow. For him, helping a business move forward is at the heart of the work.
Melissa Nel
Co-Managing Partner
Melissa shares Marius’s commitment to helping business owners work towards their goals. She values building relationships where clients feel comfortable asking questions, discussing challenges and getting a helping hand when they need one. Seeing a business grow—and knowing we were able to support that progress—is what makes the work meaningful to her.
Our story
Digital Three Sixty began in 2021, when founder Marius Schutte saw the growing potential of digital marketing to help South African business owners reach more customers. He believed AI-powered websites and the wider range of services available through BLAM could give businesses practical, modern ways to grow.
Marius later invited Melissa to become part of Digital Three Sixty. They shared the same purpose: helping SME owners work towards their goals and build the success they envision for their businesses.
For Melissa, the most rewarding part is seeing someone make progress and knowing she helped along the way. That feeling—“I helped that business owner get there, and I’d do it again”—captures what motivates us both.
Today, that shared purpose guides how we work. We want to understand what each business is aiming for, recommend services that suit its needs and support the people behind it with care. Our success means more when it helps our clients take meaningful steps towards theirs.
A word from our partner
"As a partner at Digital Three Sixty, I’m passionate about helping businesses turn their goals into meaningful progress. I want every client to feel supported and know we’ll do what we can to help their business move forward. Building a sustainable agency matters, but the deeper reward is seeing the people and businesses we work with grow and succeed."

What we want our work to mean
We want business owners to feel they have someone in their corner: people who will listen, communicate honestly and care about helping them make progress. Business growth takes effort and time. We find meaning in supporting that journey and celebrating the steps forward along the way.
Is our agency the right choice for your business?
A freelancer can be a good fit for a defined task or specialist skill. An in-house hire can suit a business with enough ongoing work for a dedicated marketer. Digital Three Sixty may be a good fit when your SME needs support across several digital services, with clear monthly deliverables and one external marketing partner.
Every agency is different, so compare the services, scope, platform coverage, reporting and costs before choosing. Our service and package pages set out those details for you.
