Hi! Nice to meet you. I’m Dave.

Dave Charest, yes those ARE his real eyelashes.

“Dave is terrific. He listens intently to the issues you are dealing with and addresses them directly. He does not offer generalities or think-tank statements. He offers real solutions that you can put to use right away.”

-Mark Lonergan, Artistic Director, ParallelExit.net

When not working with his small business clients at Case Ace Copy, Dave is either creating members-only workshops at FuzzBucket, adventuring as Marketing Director / Producer with Astoria Performing Arts Center, acting, playing music or being a lovin’ husband and Dad. Sometimes all at the same time.

Here he inspires indie artists to make “wicked smaht” (yes, he’s originally from Massachusetts) changes to their marketing for better results.

“Expert” or “guru?” — Hmm…

What about a passionate, self-effacing and creative strategy guy?

You’re still here. Alright! =)

Here’s the deal. I love dedicated, creative, nice people.
And I love inspiring them to embrace these new media tools as part of their process, rather than some scary and icky afterthought.

I’ll help you get to moments of “Makeshift Brilliance.” As I learn, I share. Creative, strategic, awesome stuff.

My angle is words

Or “copy” as the cool kids call it. =)
Me? I consider it “Word Strategy.”

Words are powerful. If used in a smart way, they can help move your idea, story or company into the minds and hearts of your audience.

That’s what I’d like to help you do.

There’s lots of useful information here

Let me know what you like. Or what you don’t. Either way hearing from you makes my day.

If you like, sign-up for “Wicked Smaht” email updates. You’ll get useful tips on new media, marketing, copywriting and you’ll learn more about me, the people I work with and have some fun along the way.

Thanks for stopping by!

Talk soon,

Dave Charest
