A message from our founder.

While I have 15 years of professional marketing experience, I really got my start in the second grade.

Growing up, both my parents were in sales and marketing. One day, my mom took me to the local grocery store and pointed to one of the shelves in the cereal aisle. "David, do you see how they put the sugar cereals at your eye level? That's because they want you to ask me to buy them for you." I've been in marketing ever since.

Working in high tech and consulting with clients ranging from Microsoft to Rice-A-Roni gave me experience with some great brands. In 2001, I decided to put the marketing skills I'd built to use for local, growing companies. I founded vs. Goliath to help Bay Area businesses and non-profits grow through successful brand strategy and marketing communications. I soon found designers, strategists and marketing writers who felt the same way.

Unlike many larger firms, we don't believe in budget padding or one size fits all solutions. We do, however, look forward to working in collaboration with clients and sharing the excitement of building great brands.

Cheers,

David Gartner
