David’s advertising career has been primarily spent with multi-national ad agencies, including McCann-Erickson and D’Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles, developing and producing creative campaigns for companies such as The Coca-Cola Company, American Express, Budweiser, Exxon, IBM, KFC, Motorola, Texas Instruments, Churchill Downs, and the United Way.

A pioneer and innovator in the industry, David is the youngest recipient of the coveted H.K. McCann award for creative excellence on his work for Coca-Cola while at McCann-Erickson. In 2001, David joined forces with T. Boone Pickens to create and build a marketing software company that specialized in enterprise brand management systems with client such as Wendy’s, Comerica Banks, Chevron, Sears and many others. In 2020, he pivoted the company to launch an online subscription business targeting SMB’s to assist them with full-service marketing called Ad Giants Ventures. Ad Giants is unique in that the business model provides one of the first DIFM (Do-It-For-Me) services, and has replicated the entire professional ad agency workflow into a monthly paid subscription.
