Co-Founder of Been There Done That • London
David has been described as a ‘Creative Tour de Force’. An ex-Grey veteran, his career has also spanned stints at Mojo, BBDO and Bates. Spurred on by the belief that agency models no longer met client creative needs, David set up Been There Done That in 2014.
In this interview, he highlights the new complexities of today’s advertising industry and the return to the “Big brand idea”. The idea that connects a company's purpose with their business objectives and creates an emotional connection with the consumer.
