If you're looking for someone who is wickedly smart, fearlessly creative, selfishly kind, and endlessly hilarious, look no further than David. This guy can light up a room with great ideas as well as positivity. He knows how to nurture and grow younger talent. And at the same time, he knows how to roll up his sleeves and get the job done. Homeboy is legit on all fronts. (Except for hair... not a strength). ;)
Steve Babcock, former CCO @ Vayner Media

Andy Cummings, Creative Director
David is a big ideas creative. Always ready to jam and get in there and shape the work until it’s awesome. He’s always the biggest person in the room, accepting ideas come from anywhere, and will quickly galvanize a team to make and do.
And a top bloke too!
Lisa Eleanor Buckley, Managing Director @ Vayner Media
Working for David was instrumental in my professional development. David was my Group Creative Director and a trusted ear for creative, structural, and personnel challenges. David taught me to always take my ego out of it and make it about the work, the advice I've regularly given to members of my teams ever since. One day, after we had been working together for a while, I sent David work to review while he was zipping between flights to different clients. Rather than responding over email, he called me, gave me feedback on two territories, and on the third just said 'I know you can do better than this.' He was right. David is someone you can always count on. He doesn't get flustered. He approaches situations with creativity, patience, and humility. He's good with clients, people he manages, and colleagues. I was lucky to work with him. I think you would be too.
Etan Bednarsh, Creative Director, Senior Strategist
Having worked closely on the same business, I can safely say that David is a dream to work with. He has an innate ability to elevate the creative work while also fostering an incredible team dynamic. He's also great at working across functions/departments to get the job done. If I got the opportunity to work with David again in the future I'd grab it with both hands, and you should too.

David is an exceptional leader who cares immensely about his team, and the work. I had the pleasure of working under David as a copywriter when he was VP Digital Creative Director at Rosetta (now SapientRazorfish) on the Samsung account for a year. There, we were presented with several challenging & time-sensitive tasks for a variety of digital platforms, and David tackled everything with a positive and encouraging attitude, and masterful creative direction.
Kelly Cooper, Senior Copywriter
Working with David was the highlight of my time at VaynerMedia. A perpetual creative thinker, he is always brimming with ideas on how to elevate creative work with a fresh perspective. He has a real knack for connecting with people, earning their trust, and bringing levity and focus to the organized chaos of creative development and production. The work was always better when David was involved.
Alex Burton, VP, Content & Audience Development, Healthline Media | RVO Health
David has a great creative eye. He worked very well with all departments in an integrated and seamless fashion. He brought great value on set for our client's video and commercial shoots.
James Orsini, President at The Sasha Group
I came on to help David's team with a new business pitch. He was incredibly down-to-earth, friendly, and smart. I loved how he let me do my own thing and did not micromanage me. He's a stellar creative director, a sharp writer, and really fun to work with. It's one thing to have a creative director that brings in, retains, and also nurtures talent, but it's a whole other ball game when a creative director can do all that plus win new business. And that's, David Rosenberg.
