Raised for Non-Profits

Hey there, I’m David Oñate. I’ve spent the last 15+ years in the for and non-profit sectors, helping organizations big and small stand out from the crowd to share their passion. My niche is the intersection of strategy, creativity, and integrated marketing — while I not so secretly love digital and tech solutions. While no two answers to a challenge may be the same, isn’t that the fun part? Enjoy poking around my site, and if you’re feeling brave, drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you!

I started my career in the for-profit sector at Discovery Communications before moving to non-profits. Since then, I’ve held progressive marketing, advertising, fundraising, and advocacy roles. I enjoy mentoring young professionals by sharing my experience, starting as an individual producer myself. I’ve led fantastic teams, traveled to fun places, and won some cool awards — now, let’s create our own success story.

                slide 1 of 1

                  I had the pleasure of working with David on the launch of a departmental web project. The project required interfacing with business leaders and executives to gather high-level requirements, and translating these into specific directions to designers and corporate IT staff. I was very impressed with David's agility at negotiating and resolving the creative and technical problems that this project posed. The result was an effective, well-executed web-based communication platform that is now used globally by the operations department; I do not believe that the project would have been successful without David's knowledge of web programming concepts and his finesse in dealing with the nuances of the creative process.
