About Danny

G'day, I am Danny and I am passionate about Excel. Over the last 30+ years, I have developed a very particular set of skills which have helped produce a sophisticated suite of Excel templates built specifically for the media industry. I have a unique blend of finance and media experience which lends itself to well thought out design aligned with flawless accuracy centred around data and automation.

Leaving the hectic, corporate world behind following COVID, I have spent the last 30 months focussed on the development of media plan templates, finance templates and agency projection models. I consider myself an expert with much thanks to Havas Media Network.

Collaborating with Advvy on recent projects for multinational agencies EssenceMediacom, Dentsu and UM as well as award winning independents Match & Wood and Kaimera, I realised there was a gap in the market for well-priced Excel solutions. Next minute, mediaplans.au is created and here we are.

Please feel free to just reach out and say Hi at danny.wood@madbusiness.com.au or if you would like some help, at mediaplans.au@madbusiness.com.au.

Frequently asked questions

Well not really asked yet, just guessing these need to be answered.

What does MP in the logo stand for?

Well, mp stands for Media Plans, but if you squint your eyes and turn your head upside down, and whisper go Bulldogs, you will see mp is really dw inverted. My initials.

How did you get so good at Excel?

I have completed so many advanced courses, but the real knowledge is found every day on YouTube. Google what you want to do and then watch a video, easy. You can try Leila Gharani, Excel Moments, MyOnlineTrainingHub who are all good sources of information.

Do you actually design the template?

You bet. Everything from initial appointments to the implementation and support is done by me. When I say "Our" in the website, I am manifesting being so busy I need to train and employ someone. But for now, you only get me. No outsourcing to Fiverr or Upwork.
