1. Tell us about your business; and what is your business philosophy?
David Greenberg Communications, Inc., a full-service, Gainesville-based Marketing/Public Relations/Advertising agency, handles all aspects of conventional and online marketing for clients. We have been working with clients for more than 16 years. Our services include public and media relations, media buying, creative design, website design and development and all aspects of digital media. We focus on creating unique marketing plans for each of our clients and then implementing those plans for them. Our business philosophy is to do the best job every day for each of our clients.

2. Why are you passionate about your commitment to United Way’s Community Investment Fund?
As a small business person myself, it’s hard to commit to the United Way in the traditional ways that many of us remember. Nevertheless, I am adamant about giving back to the community. Historically, we have done that by dedicating a portion of our services to pro-bono work for organizations in the community for which we have some emotional tie, or simply because they do good work and need help doing it. But until we became familiar with the Community Investment Fund, and United Way’s Small Business Partnership Program, we did very little direct, financial contributing. However, this is a tremendous way for us to do that and help make a difference right here at home.

3. What is something interesting or surprising that most people don’t know about you?
During a five-year period about 15-20 years ago, I ran five marathons.

4. What would your older self tell your younger self?
That’s a message that has to stay between my older self and my younger self.

5. Favorite quote?
“Be the best person you can be every day.”
