David Lister |
Owner, Managing Director of Headline Creative / Headline Publishing
David joined Headline Advertising Pty. Ltd. as a Director and Partner in 2003, and oversaw their rebrand into two creative-based entities: Headline Creative and Headline Publishing. This makes Headline unique in the creative services industry, enabling Headline clients to enter the digital marketing space without abandoning print media’s extended shelf life.
David understands the extended brand value in cross-pollinating clients better than most, and has encouraged collaboration between Headline’s suppliers to deliver award-winning creative.
David successfully repositioned brands including Sanctuary Cover Realty and KAIA Foster Care, and has delivered creative and consulting services by tender to Griffith University and City of Gold Coast.
David is a 4th Generation born and bred Gold Coaster, whose family is considered one of the pioneering families of the Gold Coast. He is passionate about the region and where the Gold Coast (and Queensland) is heading in the future.
Based at Headline’s Southport office, David is committed to growing all Headline clients, enabling Headline to support a growing number community causes.
Headline has donated over $250K of media space to south east Queensland not-for-profits including:
Bravehearts
Gold Coast Hospital Foundation
Rotary
Sports Gold Coast (Owner of Gold Coast United)
Arundel Park Riding for the Disabled
