Global creative agency DAVID has made seven creative hires in its New York office. Coming aboard are the creative director duo of Erin Evon and Jason Burke; associate creative directors Kelsey Miller, Tori Mortenson and Maris DiTullio; sr. copywriter Adam Goffstein; and sr. art director Victoria Rocha.
All will report to Daniel Lobaton, North America, chief creative officer, and André Toledo, chief creative officer.
Creative directors Evon and Burke have teamed on campaigns for Goldfish, Snyder’s of Hanover, Tide, Shopify, Samsung and Uber Eats. They’ve been working together for seven years at such NY agencies as R/GA and Saatchi & Saatchi. While at the latter, Evon was one of the creative behind “It’s a Tide Ad,” the Procter & Gamble Super Bowl takeover that at the Cannes Fest scored a Film Grand Prix, Titanium Cannes Lion and Creative Effectiveness Gold Lion as well as a Grand Effie.
Associate creative directors Miller and Mortenson were most recently at Mekanism working for Jose Cuervo and Quaker Oats. DiTullio had been an associate creative director at Deutsch LA where she worked on Taco Bell. Prior to Deutsch LA, she worked at Crispin Porter+Bogusky on Domino’s, and RPA on Apartments.com.
Sr. copywriter Goffstein served previously at The Martin Agency and MullenLowe Boston, working for brands like Buffalo Wild Wings and Busch Light. Rocha contributed to award-winning campaigns like Michelob Ultra’s “Dreamcaster” and Spotify’s “Spreadbeats.”
The seven new team members join the existing NY contingent in their newly opened office space at the iconic Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
“Talent is at the core of who DAVID is,” said Lobaton. “We are a first name agency so everyone who joins is here to help us keep building our next chapter. This team is the perfect complement to the talent that we currently have helping us push the potential of what we can do from our New York office to help our clients solve their business problems with outstanding creativity.”
Toledo added, “These new hires mark a significant step in our journey to build DAVID New York into a creative powerhouse. With this team, we’re poised to grow and to further establish our reputation as leaders in game and entertainment creativity, where we’ve seen incredible recognition and success.”
