Founder and CEO, David Kean
David was born and raised in New York City and now resides in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife and three daughters. An avid sports fan, David supports his favorite teams, which will remain anonymous (hint: he developed a love for winners in the late 70’s and early 80’s), with a great passion and spirit that can sometimes be heard by his neighbors. David brings that same unwavering sense of loyalty and perseverance to all that he does in his professional life. As his colleagues and friends will tell you, David is the kind of person you want in your corner to ensure that things are done right.
Prior to founding DDK Productions, David worked at GroupM ESP (Entertainment & Sports Partnerships), where he served as Vice President, Event Production. He was responsible for planning and executing various facets of activation for a wide variety of GroupM clients within the sports and entertainment landscape. David worked closely with the following clients and properties: Unilever, Regions Bank, Tabasco, Discover Card, Monster.com, HSBC Bank, Genworth Financial, E & J Gallo, NBC Universal, ESPN/SEC Network, NFL, NHL and Wimbledon. David also spearheaded various business development efforts throughout his tenure at GroupM ESP.
Before joining GroupM ESP in 2007, David worked for Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas on the overall implementation and on site execution of the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational Golf Tournament.
DDK Productions has been a longtime goal of David’s. He is thrilled to have created this company and looks forward to the opportunity to work with you.
