dave parrish		president, creative director

Interactive. Direct Response. Collateral. Print. TV. Over a 20-year career, Dave has mastered each of these disciplines. And while we're not sure what's next for him at DPI, we do know that since 2003, our clients have challenged him in all of these areas. In 1988, Dave began his career, joining The Martin Agency as a direct marketing creative leader. Among the clients who benefited from his bold creativity and quiet confidence were SkyTel, MCI, Sprint, CompuServe, GEICO, Mercedes-Benz and FMC - to name just a few. After setting a Richmond record for working consecutive weekends, Dave was given the opportunity to spend six additional years at The Martin Agency developing innovative interactive marketing programs for some of the world's premier brands including Gerber, Kellogg's, Network Solutions, Saab and Coca-Cola. In fact, he was the creative leader for Coca-Cola's first web site. Later, Dave returned to the non-digital world and resurrected his direct marketing skills on AllTel, UPS, GEICO and FMC. Dave never forgot what he learned in the Òinteractive world,Ó applying this knowledge to strengthen what some still consider to be "traditional" direct marketing. Over the years, Dave's work has not gone unnoticed by his peers. In fact, Dave has brought home six One Show awards for his work on behalf of Coca-Cola, Surge and Remy Martin. Additionally, he has recognized by Graphis, The New York Art Directors Club, The John Caples Awards and the Echo Awards. Dave is originally from New Jersey (Exit 16.) He enjoys fast cars and watching movies with his dogs.
