People Before Profit

David Gardner is the owner of People Before Profit Pty Ltd, a web and digital marketing company specialising in website development, search engine optimisation and pay per click advertising for a broad range of businesses. David particularly likes working with charities, non-profits and for-profit companies that actually care about their clients and product and are trying to make the world a better place through their services.

At the age of 18, David started his first small graphic design studio. With no real business experience, however, it never got beyond a few regular clients and was basically a hobby. After experimenting with different careers and spending 10 years working in the education sector, David decided to turn a side project building websites into a full-time career. From his beginnings in graphic and web design he became deeply interested in marketing psychology and saw just how lacking these skills are in many businesses. Beyond offering marketing services to clients, this interest / insight led him into many hours spent running free training programs in digital marketing, and other time offered freely, helping businesses to improve their marketing understanding and online presence.

David studied Creative Arts at the University of Melbourne in Victoria, and has held board positions for multiple not-for-profits.

Kind words from Aussies managing

  • SMSF Mate is a unique website because it has ideas about how to approach SMSFs, insurance and other financial topics that come straight from first hand experience. It's much more useful than what you find on all the other financial websites that just offer generic info that you could easily get on the ATO's website. It's also nice to know there's no financial incentive behind the information, it's legitimately there to help people understand self-managed super funds and how to get the most out of them, not to get an affiliate commission from a broker or other financial services provider. The investment product information is also incredibly useful, I've never seen this kind of functionality on any other website that let's you look at such a wide range of products, sort by what info is most interesting or important to you, and subscribe to updates for different funds and financial products all in one place. Definitely worth checking out if you own or are considering an SMSF!

  • SMSF Mate provides a unique insight into superannuation and financial topics in a way that is easier to understand than conventional websites. The colloquial nature of the site makes it easy to understand and they often speak about complicated topics in lamens terms so I can wrap my head around them. The investment product information is a great way to research funds that I am interested in investing in with my SMSF and there is a lot of helpful information on the site for better structuring my investment portfolio. In comparison to other websites which offer similar information, SMSF Mate excels as the information is free to access whereas many other sites charge a subscription fee for the same thing. Overall, I think SMSF Mate is a great resource for SMSF trustees and is worth looking at for a variety of super-related topics. Thanks.
