.Hi, I'm Dan, a creative/social/earned/agency leader with deep experience running, winning and growing ambitious brands. I’ve worked all sides of the table, from ad agencies to comms networks to brand side, social to 360 to AI, Omnicom to in-house at Adobe to boutiques. As the logo buffet below suggests, I’ve worked across categories and industries. Most of the brands I led. Some I won. Many I've won things with.
I’ve been described as a “tireless thinker and doer who’s exuberant style inspires teams and motivates humans.” Thanks Mom. I genuinely believe greatness lives at the nexus of insight and instinct, science and story, strategic rigor and creative rebellion. While the work always comes first, and second, I’m equally passionate about mentoring creatives, building teams and departments, leading accounts, winning new business, growing CMO relationships, and navigating the tumult that comes with ever-evolving industry dynamics. Given the choice, I’m happiest solving the important things, pioneering next big whatevers and fusing culture, data and media to blaze new paths into hearts and minds. F’real.

I live in LA with my lovely and talented wife, equally-acclaimed dog, director alter-ego, and sometimes a clown.
