About David
As the Founder of Level5, David has had the opportunity to build a firm dedicated to creating value for client partners’ most important asset: their brand. This has provided David with a unique insight into a global range of market sectors. As a result, he has been able to work alongside progressive, brand-driven business leaders in creating and delivering brands that have been successful financially, socially, and culturally.
Prior to founding Level5 Strategy, David served as the CMO at Corus Entertainment here he helped set the organization’s corporate vision, values, and positioning. He worked for Labatt as an SVP Marketing and Strategic Planning where he led the company’s expansion into the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean – with successful turnaround and launches of brands such as Budweiser, Stella Artois, and Alexander Keith’s.
