Dave Klare is a Executive Creative Director at FiveHundred Degrees Studio. He possess expertise in graphic design, art direction, creative direction, advertising, corporate identity and 13 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I have known Dave for more than 11 years now, as long as I’ve been with Marsh Brand Partners. Dave started only about a month or so before I did with Marsh, so we were in this together for a long time. Dave and I worked together on the same food and merchandising clients on the production side to start with. Then when the client shifted to need more creative work, Dave moved to lead the creative while I managed the production of these clients; we worked very well together and I miss him dearly as a colleague and a friend. He is very pleasant, patient and easy going, no matter what is going on around him. At the same time he is an absolute workhorse; he delivers great work even in extreme timing and request circumstances. He is truly dedicated and cares about what he does and the people he works with. While he is a very talented designer, he does not mind to get down and dirty to do what needs to be done because he is a team player. He just plain “gets it”. Dave has experience in art direction, retouching, packaging, merchandising, direct mail, print and digital formats and more. Dave was a very reliable and integral part of our specific brand team here at Marsh as well as other areas where he was needed. He could always be counted on and he is surely missed. I would highly recommend him to any future employer who would be lucky to have him.", "Dave and I worked together during my first few years at Marsh Brand Partners. He was the Creative Director for our entire food group, which was an incredibly demanding role. His ability to handle near impossible deadlines and figure out what the client truly needed were impressive to see on a daily basis. He separated himself from most creative directors with his willingness to get his hands dirty and build pieces himself to meet tight deadlines, while still handling his day to day leadership activities. Lastly, he was also always open to give feedback and help his team members grow, which was critical in my development at the agency. The value DK brings to his clients and coworkers is second to none. I would gladly recommend him for a similar director role at any agency.", and "Dave has hired me over a year ago to design graphic lockups, point-of-purchase and in-store materials for many of Marsh Brand Partners' Retail clients. In that time he's been a complete professional in how he manages creative. He gives me a great deal of creative freedom in the work that I've contributed, he sets achievable expectations for project goals and is always great to work with. It's always a great experience to stop by and help out!"
