2 ghosts working together as a team

A Team Member

I'm not an agency, I'm just me — and it's a good thing!
You can expect me to feel like a member of the team. I'll be available for weekly meetings, I'll join your Slack, your Teams, your Asana, your Trello, etc. Just plug me in, and I'll go.

Hi, my name's David. 👋
I love to long-travel and I usually move to a new country every couple of years. I'm idiosyncratic and my partner would say I'm an idiot - but not when it comes to marketing!

I was at an agency for 7 years before deciding I could do better work outside of that structure. During my tenure in agency life I worked with many dozens of clients; often around 15 at a time! That's why I left; there are only so many hours in a week and I want to spend mine doing real problem-solving, creative thinking, and giving my attention to a few clients I love working with.

That's not to say my time there wasn't valuable! I got to work with great companies in varying industries around e-commerce, subscriptions, resorts, educational courses, and more.
It's given me a great range that helps me sort through the problems a business might be facing and understand how to help them achieve great outcomes.

Reach out and let's see what working together looks like!

Other people validated me, so you know I'm for real...

"David played an integral role in growing Hydroviv from ~4500k to $10M in annual revenue (profitably), which ultimately led to us being acquired.  Given that I had no digital marketing background, I most valued David's rare combination of creativity, analysis, and experience which allowed him to help identify where improvements can be made, and come up with a plan to improve things.  It's also worth pointing out that he does all of this with integrity and a collaborative mindset that makes others around him better."

"David is a Google genius/wizard. He was able to do things with my account that I have never seen replicated by any individual or agency. He was always responsive and communicative with creating and achieving goals. He was also responsible and thoughtful when it came to our spend. He will be a tremendous asset to any company he works with."
