Martin Davidson

I’ve been a writer, Creative Director, Global Creative Director, Executive Director, Director of Design Talent, and brand-side client to agency partners. I’ve worked for agencies, owned my own, and led others both independent and in-house.

My experience in advertising has been as varied as the business itself.
I set out to be a great writer then set my sights on becoming the best creative leader I could be.

Because of that, my path has been a less conventional one that includes doughnuts and banking.

I don’t have the D&AD Yellow Pencil I once coveted but I have learned more about design thinking, articulating the business value of design, managing large remote design teams, and enterprise digital transformation than I ever imagined.

I like to solve big, complicated business challenges and get hired by agencies and brands who have them.

I take the hard assignments because it’s rewarding to deliver success for clients many people believe is impossible.
I took a special interest in strategy knowing that without a good one, great work was that much harder to achieve.
I view clients as allies and, when I became one, I saw my role as a champion helping lead agency partners to success.

Outside of advertising, I enjoy playing classical piano, film photography and learning the guitar.
I have two daughters in college who are smarter than me but I know more than they do.
