COLUMBUS, USA // Dave inspires, leads and cajoles a 300ish-person agency to industry glory with the belief that big healthcare doesn’t get a pass on creativity. Throughout a 20-year career, his passion for human insights and insistence on “creative without caveats” has led to award-winning, business-building creativity for clients in healthcare, technology, fashion, financial services, and social causes.

At GSW, Dave has led agency and client teams to global, national and local brand success across the human condition: depression, diabetes, infectious disease, dermatology, facial aesthetics, cardiac devices, surgical devices, kidney disease, diagnostic equipment, gastrointestinal, joint repair/replacement, hospital systems, social services, generic manufacturing, and a golf tournament or two. His work has been recognized by Clio, Cannes, National ADDY, The Globals, One Show Rx, National DTC, and MedAd News Manny Awards. Dave has served as a judge for Clio Health, MM&M and The Globals.

Most recently, Dave led a successful rebranding of GSW from visual identity to rekindling the agency soul with a new call to arms: “Speak People”.

Before joining GSW in 2001, Dave was associate creative director for Resource where he developed and led award-winning creative for clients such as Apple Computer, Victoria’s Secret, Adobe, Autodesk, BMW Financial Services, Hewlett-Packard, Condé Nast, and Merrill Lynch. In 1999, he broke the internet by helping bring the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to its first-ever live webcast, dubbed Marketing Event of the Year by ADWEEK. It has since been fixed.
