Dave Hamilton

Dave is an accomplished copywriter and creative director with more than a decade of experience. A penchant for strategy development and passion for storytelling have earned him the pleasure of launching or positioning brands on behalf of: Anheuser-Busch, Frito-Lay, Honda, The Coca Cola Company, IKEA, Sony, Harry Rosen Menswear, Reebok, Rogers-Yahoo!, Hershey, and possibly a couple of others he’s forgotten to brag about here. He looks forward to ranting and raving about whatever catches his fancy until someone asks him to stop.
