Meet the brain (and heart) behind djm digital

I’m David (he/she/they), and I built DJM Digital because good people deserve great marketing.

I help small businesses, nonprofits, political campaigns, and values-driven brands clarify their message, strengthen their presence, and get things done - without the corporate buzzwords or jargon. My work is rooted in honesty, strategy, and giving overwhelmed teams a partner they can actually trust.

You bring the passion. I’ll bring the plan.

Why i do this

At the core of DJM Digital is a belief in equity, creativity, and transparency. I work with people and organizations who give a damn - about their work, their communities, and the people they serve.

I’m queer, left-leaning, and community-minded and I don’t hide it. This business isn’t just how I pay the bills; it’s how I help shape the world I want to live in.

What I Do

From PR and social media to branding, copywriting, and digital strategy—I make sure your story works across platforms. Whether you're launching something new or trying to clean up a mess left behind by the last “marketing guy,” I meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity.

And no, I don’t believe in overnight success. I believe in building something meaningful, with intention and alignment.

A Little More About Me

I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, moved to Akron in 2013 for school, and eventually launched this business after years of working in politics, nonprofit advocacy, and communications. When I’m not writing copy or running campaigns, you can find me hiking through the woods, watching movies with my partner Carlos, or hanging with our dog Quinn.

I don’t do marketing for the masses. i work with people who give a damn - about their message, their mission, and their communities.
