Founded in 1999, Threespot Media has grown to become one of the region's leading interactive agencies. Since opening, we have consciously cultivated a cross-vertical client base. While our relationships are as diverse as the XM Satellite Radio and the NFL, our work is united by a common theme: building trusting relationships with clients to develop standard-setting solutions.

Threespot has quietly garnered recognition for our work, including Print magazine, Communication Arts 2005 Design Annual, and AIGA, as well as recognition as one of the country's top 75 interactive agencies of 2004 by Advertising Age.

David Belman, Founding Partner, Creative Director
In 1999, David founded Threespot with the goal of building a boutique interactive consultancy that respected, honored, and valued the power of relationships: relationships between agency and client and relationships between brands and consumers.

David has shaped a communications practice focused on developing these relationships. Through careful research, analysis, and clarification of brand, positioning, competitive landscape, business culture, audience, and strategic objectives, David has helped craft successful strategies and online experiences for a number of well-known brands, including the National Football League, Peace Corps, Discovery Communications, McDonald's, XM Satellite Radio, CNET, and NPR: National Public Radio. His solutions recruit, sell, convert, engage, and, most importantly, connect.

Prior to founding Threespot, David worked as the vice president and creative director for Magnet Interactive, where he was responsible for the creative quality and integrity of all Magnet products. While there, he oversaw the growth and development of a creative department tasked with shepherding and extending brands that included Kellogg's, Nissan Motor Co., Matchbox, and Crayola.

His online work has won widespread recognition, including Gold Cindy awards, a Silver World Medal from the New York Festivals, and a One Show Interactive pencil for creative excellence.
