ABOUT THE AGENCY:

David&Goliath is an agency that adheres to one simple philosophy: Brave. To be brave, to

inspire people and brands to take on their goliaths. To create lasting impact that the world

can feel and truly embrace. This is our purpose and for over two decades, we have never

wavered from it. We are not made for everyone. We are made for the few who believe that

purpose isn't just a business proposition, but a way of life. And for those who believe we

can achieve the unthinkable, together. David&Goliath is a collaborative, empathetic, and

team-oriented culture that believes in taking on challenges that others might walk away

from. Because, the truth is, nobody ever became great without first being brave.
