Dave has been the driving force behind metajive since its inception in 2003. Prior to starting metajive, Dave worked in San Francisco as a ‘hired gun’ for a handful of the big agencies. He worked on everything he could get his hands on, which included Disney, Banana Republic, Gap and Mike’s Hard Lemonade. After settling in Carlsbad, California in 2007, Dave developed metajive, whose high-profile clients include Porsche, Quiksilver, DC Shoes, Kaiser Permanente, NASCAR, Microsoft, Intel and Virgin America. Metajive also works closely with agencies such as Cramer Krasslet, JUXT, Hybrid & Widen+Kennedy on their top-level accounts.
