DAVID ROSENZWEIG
Copywriter/ Creative Consultant
Background
After growing up in the great state of Connecticut, and going to college in Boston, I moved west in search of adventure. After failing as a barista, stuntman, and professional bull rider, I set a new course in the entertainment industry.
I'm an avid golfer, amateur photographer, whisky (or whiskey depending on the country of origin) connoisseur-in-training, and lover of good food and world travel.
Since moving to Los Angeles in 2004, I've worked at some of the biggest companies in the industry. The early part of my career began in a film/ tape vault at Company3. I then moved to digital post supervisor at Paramount Pictures, operations manager at Technicolor Creative Services,
the Finishing Supervisor at Ant Farm.
In 2013 I took some time off to escape the technical and managerial side of things to focus on the creative. I was hired back at Ant Farm in 2014 as a staff copywriter,
and then Senior Copywriter at B O N D in 2018, where I worked for nearly 7 years.
And in case you were wondering, web design is most definitely not my area of expertise...
but I'm learning.
