Adam Marshall
Element-M (Dave) re-defined our brand after a merger in 2013. He is a true business “consultant.” His process requires a deep-dive into your business goals and model and he forces you to think critically about your positioning. Only then can he create a meaningful brand. In fact, his process educated me so much about our model and how we are differentiated from our market competitors, that I often hear his words coming out of my mouth in presentations. I highly recommend Dave.

I have known Dave both personally and professionally for a number of years. He has an excellent background in all areas of Advertising and Marketing and has developed a specialty centered around “storytelling” for his clients. Dave takes his client’s vision for what they want to accomplish and molds it together with his creative insight and expertise to develop strategic branding, messaging, advertising, and sales tactics to help his clients meet and exceed their goals. His award-winning work is simply excellent.
