About us

Break the rules.
Think bigger.
Get sh*t  done.

Strategy, ideation, empathy and agility are prerequisites for success in a crowded digital arena. Overdose fills the void between your business needs and functional delivery. Our approach and mindset ensure we love your business, as if our own.

Complete Commerce.

The traditional view of digital success is delivering functional solutions ‘on time’ and ‘on budget’. Set and forget; resulting in expensive, rudderless ships that look like speedboats, but perform like a dinghy. Agencies adapted to being remunerated on delivery, rather than fiscal outcomes, and subsequently excelled at up-selling go-faster-stripes for your new speed-dinghy. This model is broken.

Thus, we conceived anti-agency. Working in immersed relationships, with deep consumer empathy and being technology agnostic. One team, a partnership, motivated by common goals & shared success.

Since our incorporation in 2016, Overdose has grown out to a team of 450+ commerce professionals, with industry-defining capability across Strategy, Design, Technology, Marketing, Search & Insights. We now have offices & clients in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, Singapore, Seattle & Kyiv.

We don’t sell solutions. We produce business outcomes.

People
chiefs. entrepreneurs.
Our founders Todd and Ryan were joined over the course of 2016 by Paul and Nikolai, and in 2018/19 by Jason and KJ to build a defining global vision for the Overdose brand. Whilst their roles have matured to support a growing business, they all remain very hands-on with business operations and client engagements.
