Hello. I’m David Gallagher and this is my personal website. I’m a Texan in London, with a long and mostly successful history of helping organizations thrive through communications, purpose and community.
What I’m doing
-
Strategies for the business of communications.
For the better part of two decades, we - David, Dave and Mark - guided agencies through a period of dramatic growth and transformation (and also a few harder, challenging stages of reinvention and renewal). We don’t know everything, but we do have some hard-earned experience we want to bring to leaders in the business of communications.
We created Folgate Advisors - named for the street in East London where we worked together for more than 15 years - to bring our collective experience to bear. For you.
