A New Era of Growth and Brand Strategy

As CMO, David oversees the convergence of cutting-edge visual technologies and talent-driven marketing. Having transitioned from a decorated career in VFX Production Management, he applies a "production-first" philosophy to marketing leadership. This ensures that Krave’s promotional strategies are not only visionary but grounded in operational excellence and data-backed digital workflows.

His leadership focuses on:

• Brand Synergy & Positioning: Aligning Krave’s visual identity with long-term commercial goals to elevate a diverse roster of clients within the global marketplace.

• Strategic Innovation: Utilizing his deep roots in the CG pipeline and digital media to implement emerging technologies and AI-driven tools within the agency's marketing suite.

• Market Expansion: Cultivating high-impact campaigns and partnerships that empower artists and creators while scaling the agency’s reach across conventional and digital media.

Legacy of Production Leader

David's entry into the visual effects industry began at Zoic Studios, where he joined as a  creative intern and gained exposure to both episodic television and feature films. This early experience solidified his passion for visual effects and introduced him to the demanding collaborative environment of high-end production.

Following graduation, David joined FuseFX in Los Angeles as a Render Wrangler, within the IT Department, before transitioning into Production Management as a VFX Production Coordinator. Over the next four years, he steadily advanced through increasing levels of responsibility, developing expertise in production planning, artist resource allocation, client communication, and large-scale project execution. Outside of FuseFX, David spent much of his time on set, working in the lighting department, grips, or as a PA.  

In 2020, David relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, to join Crafty Apes, where he was entrusted with leading the Production Management department. As the studio continued its rapid global expansion, David ultimately became Global Head of Production Management, overseeing CG production operations across seven international locations. Managing complex production ecosystems across multiple time zones and hundreds of artists refined his ability to maintain operational clarity, align teams under pressure, and deliver solutions in even the most demanding circumstances.

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF KRAVE HOUSE OF CREATIVES

For David, Krave Agent represents the natural culmination of years spent inside the Hollywood production ecosystem combined with a lifelong fascination with branding, audience engagement, and creative expression. He views marketing not simply as promotion, but as storytelling with purpose—creating meaningful connections between brands and the communities they serve.

At Krave Agent, David leads the agency's marketing vision, client partnerships, and creative strategy initiatives, ensuring every campaign is grounded in both artistic excellence and business impact. He is particularly passionate about developing work for motorsport organizations, automotive brands, and performance-driven companies, leveraging his unique combination of industry expertise and personal passion to create authentic campaigns that resonate with enthusiasts and audiences worldwide.

His mission is simple: to help ambitious brands tell unforgettable stories through world-class creative execution, strategic thinking, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

PERFORMANCE, PRECISION, AND THE MOTORSPORT MINDSET

Outside the studio, David's passion for motorsport has become a defining influence on his professional approach. As both a competitive sim racer participating in online esports leagues and an active endurance racer in real-world competition, he has developed a deep appreciation for the principles that drive elite performance: preparation, teamwork, precision, and continuous improvement.

The parallels between motorsport and visual effects are striking. Both require exceptional coordination between highly specialized teams, unwavering focus under pressure, and the ability to make critical decisions in rapidly changing environments. These experiences have shaped David's perspective on leadership, marketing, and creative strategy, inspiring him to bridge the worlds of racing and visual storytelling through innovative brand experiences and content campaigns.
