Meet David | Founder, CEO, and Experiential Marketing Expert

We had the good fortune of connecting with David and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi David, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
Actually, I believe it would be riskier to NOT work for myself. Working for someone else, your future is in their hands—your job security, income, growth, and even your time. That doesn’t work with me. I’d rather take control, even if it comes with uncertainty. Starting the company wasn’t about entrepreneurship — it was about taking control. Yes, there are risks, but they are mine to manage daily. I pivot, innovate, and take action without waiting for permission. The reward isn’t just financial—it is the freedom to build my own path. In short, I see risk not as a threat, but as a catalyst. It forces clarity, tests commitment, and fuels innovation. In my life and work, risk-taking has been essential to growth—and I’ve learned that the biggest risk is often in doing nothing at all.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At dMEO, we specialize in highly specialized brand ambassador staffing for special events and retail samplings.
What sets us apart is our personal, hands-on approach to every activation. We don’t just fill roles—we match brands with passionate, engaging professionals who truly embody their message and energy. I’m most proud of the consistency and growth I’ve been able to sustain over the years. We’ve grown through word-of-mouth and reputation, and that’s a reflection of the trust and care we put into every detail. Surviving the pandemic and coming back even stronger. Getting here wasn’t easy. Like many small businesses, I faced early challenges—finding the right people, building trust in a competitive industry, and wearing every hat at once. Every obstacle became an opportunity to refine our process and raise our standards. Now being 8 years in, I have developed and mastered our processes, continuing to execute with consistency.

dMEO is more than a staffing agency—we’re partners in creating experiences and bringing brands to life. The experiences our teams are creating across the United States are shaping the future of retail.We show up with energy, heart, and hustle, and we’re proud to represent brands that inspire us.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m all about the outdoors—whether it’s Venice Beach, Malibu, or the anywhere along the coast. I’m often out exploring. daily adventures, backpacking, hiking, and you’ll regularly find me on the trails Malibu to Hollywood. Anywhere I can unplug and step away from the screen for a few hours is exactly where I want to be.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to thank our incredible clients for trusting dMEO to bring their brand experiences to life. Giving me a shot to prove our expertise has proven successful for all of us .
