As Director of Production, Dave oversees all of BBDO’s production areas. Rolfe joined BBDO in 2012 to help the agency break new barriers with innovation, agility, and cross-medium work.
Dave spent much of his career at Crispin, Porter + Bogusky as a Partner and Global Head of CPB's production forays into digital and innovation throughout the 2000s. Dave also ran Production at DDB Chicago for a short period in 2006-07.

He was named to the Entertainment Jury for the 2016 Cannes Lions Festival, and increasingly has been sought as a speaker at Cannes as well as other global media and marketing forums.
