Experienced, creative, commercial - Leeds
Who is David
Passionate, people-focused and endlessly optimistic, David Cole has spent three decades building a thriving career across branding, design and creative direction.
Born in Nottingham and moving to London at 21 David began a 15 year corporate career in design. On the retail side David has worked with Waitrose, John Lewis, Asda and Sainsbury’s. Other clients have included BigChange, Charles Worthington, Tesco, The Vue, Specsavers, all through agencies.
JUST has been his biggest single photography client to date with over 60 assignments completed.
David believes people, not processes, drive great business outcomes, and that philosophy shapes a working style that's professional yet relaxed, detailed yet genuinely enjoyable. The result is high-quality creative work built on hard-won experience, flexibility and a real appreciation for helping individuals, teams and businesses grow.
Growing up as one of seven children shaped a natural adaptability and empathy that now sits at the heart of every client relationship. His work is always people centred and consumer focussed.
Based in Leeds and grounded by family (two daughters and a partner of 40 years), David brings a balanced, down-to-earth energy to every project, one that clients can feel the moment they start working together.
“David always gets on well with the marketing team. He is reliable committed and loyal which means he fits in perfectly to our brand”
