Dan started as a media exec at Universal McCann in 1996 and rose to board level over his 13-year career working on clients such as Sky, L’Oréal & Tiffany & Co. Dan was made redundant as a result of the global recession and left UM on December 19th, 2008. A date so significant, he named his company after it and he teamed up with Dave to create d19. They have never looked back.
