Dave Ackerman: ContenT elevated
I create content that captures the attention of audiences while elevating brands beyond the products they sell. From working with giant household names, like Pizza Hut and Cricket Wireless to improve their image and engagement, to starting new companies from nothing, and making our first sales, I have always used content to reach customers where they are and bring them along for the ride.

Video Work
I’ve worked with budgets large and small to create content for ever purpose and on nearly every platform. A good video can lift the public’s perception of your brand, it can educate, entertain and sell. Few content creators have the breadth and depth of my experience. It isn’t good enough to have ideas, you have to understand which ideas will put you on track to reach your most important KPI’s. That’s how the content I create makes a difference.

Tobacco Motorwear
Creativity comes in many forms. When I realized that content could power a brand, I set out to make my own. My creativity now turned toward product design. I have designed and launched dozens of products for Tobacco Motorwear and our sister company, Pack Animal. Clothing, bags, boots, accessories, everything we make started with an idea. But to turn ideas into a reality, it requires a resourcefulness that has driven us farther than creativity could take us alone.

It takes a special mix of talents to launch a successful Kickstarter project. The best projects have creative content that entertains and sells, but also works seamlessly with the rest of the Kickstarter funnel, from the project page to the ads to PR, It all has to work together to be successful. I have raised over $600,000 on Kickstarter, 5 for 5 campaigns in the top 2% of projects ever launched and for two different companies.

SHAREABIlity, INC.
Head writer, Director
I wrote and directed numerous videos for Shareability, a Los Angeles based digital media company, including Pizza Hut's Selfie Stick PSA, which became the most shared ad on the internet the month it launched (almost exclusively organic shares). While I worked on as part of a creative team my creative concepts were most often selected by clients to go to production. I created concepts, wrote and or directed content for Shaw Canada, The Olympic Channel, and Cricket Wireless just to name a few. In the Case of Cricket, our campaign led to more organic engagement than AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint combined! A 560% brand lift over the two-year campaign.
Tobacco Motorwear
CEO/Creative Director
When you start a company, you wear a lot of hats and learn fast. Tobacco Motorwear has taught me so much. Starting this company forced me to learn product design, international and domestic sourcing, digital marketing strategy as well as leadership, organization and planning. As a small company, we’ve had to learn to cut costs on content and still achieve impressive production values. Just how did we get that shot with an LAPD S.W.A.T. tank for free?! The success of Tobacco lead us to aquire a bag brand called Pack Animal that we also run.
Spaceman Creative
Producer/Writer/Director
Taking on freelance video creative projects allowed me to work in with friends, family and small businesses with unique content needs. I was able to work with Beard Club in the early days and we created one of the most epic videos they have ever produced. Which says a lot. One of my favorite projects however was for my brothers Children’s book that he launched on Kickstarter. He had no budget to make a fancy video, but he didn’t need one. A simple reaction video that teased the quality of the story would be enough. In the end his little video lead to almost 1M in sales.
