Hello, I’m Dave.
I’m an award winning writer and proven creative leader with over 25 years of experience.
As a quick background, I ran two offices for MullenLowe (Boston & New York) and was responsible for getting the best out of hundreds of creative people. I oversaw projects for both offices, attracted and retained talent, managed the bottom line and most importantly articulated distinctive and consistent work against brand strategies. Prior to MullenLowe, I was a writer/creative director at Modernista, the fastest growing small agency in the country. Before that, I was a writer/creative director at Arnold Worldwide.
I’ve shaped great purpose-built brands like JetBlue, E-TRADE, Royal Caribbean, US Cellular, American Greetings, Navy Federal Credit Union, KFC, Burger King, Acura, Cadillac, Volkswagen and many more.
I've also managed large cross disciplinary teams to get to the best solutions. Some of the specific skill sets under my guidance were writing, art direction, design, digital design, strategy, comms planning, behavioral sciences, public relations, physical experience, media and more. Again, for me it's about helping everyone to see the potential of a big idea and building organizational ownership to make it happen.
I’ve won major international awards including over 30 Cannes Lions, the Cannes Grand Prix, the Grand Andy, the Grand Clio, the Grand Kelly and two Emmys for digital experiences. And I’m equally proud of creating work that works, winning the gold Effie for sustained success for JetBlue, E-TRADE and JAMMRS, which stands for Joint Advertising Market Research & Studies for every branch of military service.
I currently live north of Boston with my extremely patient family and grouchy but loveable dog named Louie.
