Dave Metcalf

Dave Metcalf is the Co-Founder and creative leader of the AI startup Ad Legends – the world's first fully functional AI-powered advertising agency. His role is to guide its development as the only AI creative platform trained on the minds of legendary human creatives. Prior to Ad Legends, Dave spent his career creating transformative campaigns for iconic brands as an Executive Creative Director at the best agencies in the world – including Ogilvy and BBDO. His work includes Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty – voted the #1 ad campaign of the 21st century – and he is a multiple winner of Cannes Lions, One Show pencils, Communications Arts, Clios, and Effies. When he’s not chasing big ideas, Dave enjoys questioning why things have always been done the way they have. Like why people write speaker bios in the third person.
