D3 Digital Media · Team & Advisors

The operators and advisors behind the systems.

D3 Digital Media is led by an operator, not a traditional agency, and supported by a focused team and advisors with deep technology, marketing, and growth experience. This is who helps turn the WAVES Growth Operating System into real execution.

Founder & Principal

Don Davis, PhD, MBA

Founder, D3 Digital Media Marketing · Denver, CO

Fortune 500 turnaround executive turned founder. Don came out of GE with a simple operating rule: if you cannot find someone to do it, hire the number one in the field, have them show you how, and go build it yourself. That rule is the foundation of the WAVES Growth Operating System D3 installs for founder-led businesses.

He scaled a startup from $10M EBITDA to $350M in closed sales, a run that resulted in a $1.2B acquisition, and has 35+ years of operating experience across more than 150 B2B engagements. Don ran businesses before he marketed them, which is why D3 builds operations-led marketing systems rather than disconnected campaigns.
