About David

I am a serial entrepreneur and an award-winning marketing and advertising strategist with a global client base. My specialty lies in curating effective, in-depth marketing campaigns that bridge international and cultural gaps. I am well-equipped to dive deep into consumer psychology to understand why people from various backgrounds gravitate toward certain aesthetics, design, and marketing methodologies, and then I translate this understanding into effective brands and marketing strategies. Beyond marketing, I also serve as a business consultant, providing in-depth coaching to over 300+ start-up companies and businesses seeking to scale or transition. With a macro perspective, I evaluate all components of the businesses I work with, encompassing aspects like corporate culture, HR team building, projections, franchising, and healthy scaling strategies. As a keynote speaker, coach, and podcast host, my mission is to empower and inspire individuals and businesses toward an optimized and fruitful future.

As a personal brand coach, I’ve coached hundreds of clients, from models and entertainers to keynote speakers, authors, realtors, entrepreneurs, and influencers, all on their journey to developing powerful personal brands whether that be brand assessment and strategy, storytelling, online presence, image and appearance, communication skills, networking and relationship building, career advancement, personal development and more.
