About David&Goliath

Founded in 1999 by David Angelo, David&Goliath is an advertising agency based in Los Angeles. Its work also spans Branding & Identity and Strategy. Past clients include Kia.

David&Goliath is named after its founding idea: David Angelo built this independent LA agency in 1999 around a "brave" challenger philosophy, helping smaller brands take on bigger competitors. The proof is the long, defining relationship with Kia, including the Soul hamster campaign that became a genuine pop-culture moment and helped transform how the brand was perceived in the US.

The strength is a clear, sincere point of view, challenger thinking executed with real creative ambition, backed by independence. The honest note is that a single flagship relationship can define an agency's reputation, so the question is the breadth of the work beyond the marquee account. But for a brand that genuinely sees itself as the underdog, D&G's whole philosophy is built to fight that fight.
