A Brief Introduction of DJ Davids

Firstly, his real name is Dustin James. More importantly, he’s a Cannes Lions 30 Under 30, award-winning copywriter, tech startup VP, founder, social media insider with 325K+ followers, Gen-Z marketing speaker for Ad Week NYC, App Summit, and Cannes Lions Mr. USA 2021 as an LGBT+ mental health advocate.

As someone who has direct experience being a “famous” character within social media while running a data-driven, Gen-Z tech startup and working in advertising — he’s not only an experienced copywriter but a social media expert and proven content strategist.

Who is he?

DJ stands for Dustin James, but if it came down to it, he could discover his recorder from 3rd grade and play some wicked hot cross buns.

As a gay kid growing up in the Midwest suburbs, DJ often found himself on the outskirts of the ‘cool’ circle, observing those around him. These early experiences have significantly shaped his perspective and career.

His work with renowned agencies like McCann, GREY, and AKQA on major clients like Nike, Beats by Dre, and Maserati has not only earned him awards but also significantly contributed to his creative foundation and mastery of the ‘process ‘.

Joining a Gen-Z marketing tech startup as employee four, DJ took on the challenge of building the branding and brand strategy while leading the marketing, creative, and PR teams. His speaking engagements at Ad Week NYC, Cannes Lions, and the App Summit further showcased his leadership and adaptability, pushing him out of his comfort zone and teaching him the true meaning of being scrappy.

Having helped that startup go from $0 to a valuation of $20 million, he decided it was time to use what he learned at the agencies at the startup to build an app of my own. He launched it exclusively for his personal training clients because it doesn’t have a doesn’t-hustle these days?

After a short period, he returned to AKQA as a senior copywriter to lead premium and luxury brands.

His commitment to social causes is evident in his current roles as an LGBT+ mental health advocate and volunteer crisis counselor with the Trevor Project.
