They've been working together for seven years in iconic agencies of New York such as RGA and Saatchi & Saatchi, where Erin was one of the creatives behind “It’s a Tide Ad,” the iconic P&G Super Bowl takeover that was awarded a Film Grand Prix, Titanium Cannes Lion, Grand Effie and Gold Creative Effectiveness Lion.

Three associate creative directors are joining as well: Kelsey Miller, Tori Mortenson and Maria DiTullio. Kelsey and Tori were most recently at Mekanism working for Jose Cuervo and Quaker Oats. Maria joins DAVID New York as an ACD writer. Most recently, Maria was an associate creative director at Deutsch LA, where she worked on Taco Bell. Before Deutsch LA, Maria worked at Crispin Porter+Bogusky on Domino’s and RPA on Apartments.com. 

The final two hires are Adam Goffstein, a senior copywriter, previously at The Martin Agency and MullenLowe Boston, who worked for brands like Buffalo Wild Wings and Busch Light. Victoria Rocha, a senior art director, who worked on a variety of award-winning campaigns like 'Dreamcaster' from Michelob Ultra, and 'Spreadbeats' by Spotify. She was recognised as the top art director in the industry by Cannes Lions, D&AD and the One Show.

The new team members will join the existing New York team in their newly opened office space in the iconic Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
