Building a more trustworthy, human corner of the internet — for purpose-driven organisations across Australia.

Ben Adams, founder of Marzipan

Ben Adams is the founder of Marzipan, a Sydney-based digital practice built on a simple idea: the internet should feel as trustworthy, considered and human as the organisations behind it.

Over the past decade, Ben has worked across web design, SEO and digital strategy, helping businesses and organisations show up online in ways that actually reflect the quality of their work. Along the way, he noticed a pattern — too many digital projects launched with good intentions, only to drift. Sites became outdated, messaging lost clarity, and the systems meant to support growth quietly stopped doing their job.

Marzipan was reshaped in response to that gap.

Today, Ben works through a model he calls digital stewardship — an ongoing, accountable approach to managing a digital presence. Less about one-off builds or short-term campaigns, and more about long-term care: protecting what's been built, improving what matters, and making sure everything continues to serve the people it's meant to reach.

His work is particularly focused on organisations where trust carries weight — community legal centres, non-profits, and purpose-driven teams — where a website isn't just a marketing tool, but a critical point of access for people seeking support, information or change.

Ben is known for his plain-English approach and steady, honest guidance. He believes good digital work shouldn't feel confusing or opaque, and that clarity, consistency and care are often what make the biggest difference over time.

The Still Point

For the past five years, Ben has hosted a free weekly community meditation in Bondi through The Still Point — a quiet, early morning gathering. No apps, no structure. Just space to sit and reset.

That same philosophy carries into his work.
