About Dave and Kelly

We’re not your typical marketing agency.

After a combined 23 years of working as creatives in San Francisco agencies big and small (DDB Needham, AKQA, J. Walter Thompson, Chiat Day, etc.) we both quit the business in 2002 to spend our days, nights and weekends working on a little business of our own.

We now live in Mooresville, North Carolina, where we still oversee that successful little enterprise. We also accept special projects that appeal to our interests, our talents, and our hearts.

Dave handles design, typography and illustration. Kelly is all about the writing (with a dash of broadcast production). Together, unabashedly, we're a strategic force to be reckoned with.

So if we aren't a traditional marketing agency, what are we?

We’re quick and thorough creative problem solvers who have a wealth of experience in a lot of different disciplines and categories. Our solutions aren’t typical, and they deliver exponential value. Have a project? Let’s put our heads together.
