Bio
Ashley A. Saltzman
David is a strategic force. He ties marketing solutions back to a client's business needs and consistently brings value by proactively providing new ideas that will help their bottom line. He's a strong communicator too; transparent, intuitive, and clear in both oral and written communications. David is a manager who empowers and supports his direct reports. He routinely makes himself available to problem-solve; providing guidance and advice while also helping account team members grow by challenging them to bring their own solutions to the table. His leadership style is collaborative on every level, whether its bringing together account service team members into a cohesive group, or uniting agency departments to work towards a goal.

I began working with David and the team at Creativ and Co. over 13 years ago and I can honestly say, I've never once been disappointed. David approaches every project in a results-oriented way, never fails to suggest something I haven't thought of and consistently delivers projects on time and within budget. He is always willing to work within my timelines and budget. The work that David and his team are doing is always cutting edge and has never failed to generate impressive results. One of David's most impressive qualities is that he pairs his creative genius with a keen sense of business. He takes the time to understand my business and my customers. He takes the time to learn what challenges my customers face and makes suggestions on how to overcome those challenges. Working with the David Levine and the team at Creativ and Co is always a pleasure and the work delivered is always professional and polished. I highly recommend David if you're looking for an agency to build a long standing relationship with.
