Clarity. Strategy. Results.
Your Fractional Marketing partner. Done & Won helps scaling brands turn complexity into winning strategy that delivers results.
Does your marketing feel a little fuzzy?
Whether you’re lacking bandwidth, capacity or know-how, if you need a strategic marketing partner to slot in, diagnose problems, expand opportunities, build plans and deliver results…
Well, that’s me: Dave Whitla.
With over 15 years in the game, I’ve seen marketing from all sides. From leading multi-million dollar portfolios of blue-chip brands in a fast-growth agency; to directing global marketing strategy for a $100M+ brand in-house in senior leadership roles – I’ve done it.
I founded Done & Won as I saw a gap.
Too many businesses have talented teams that are stuck in the weeds, without senior strategic leadership available to guide them. Or they hire agencies that are disconnected from the day-to-day business reality, which wastes time, bandwidth and budget. The result is a loss of clarity, action and revenue.
Let’s fix it.
My solution is to act as a plug-and-play strategic partner who works directly with founders, GMs, marketing leaders and their teams to tackle your biggest challenges, amplify your brand, win new business and drive measurable business growth.
Marketing Done. Results Won. Simple.
We’ll meet where you’re at
Whether you're scaling fast, facing a roadblock, or launching something new, I'll plug into your business and provide the senior leadership, strategy and executional know-how needed to get results.
Need a full marketing strategy done from scratch?
Done. I'll diagnose the business challenge, find the opportunity and build a clear, actionable plan based on insights.
Want your digital ecosystem to work harder?
I'll focus on the user journey, UX, and CRO across web, app, social and CRM to ensure your digital presence works as a well-tuned conversion and growth engine.

That's my sweet spot. I'll lead your team, influence stakeholders and work with agencies to shape winning outcomes.
Need an edge to win a high-stakes pitch or partnership?
Been there, done that. I'll craft the strategy, bring the creative idea to life and build the presentation that gets you the win.
How it’s ‘Done & Won’
A great strategy should consider every option in your toolkit. My work is guided by three key service pillars, which are central to all partnerships and projects I undertake.
1. Insight-Led Strategy & Positioning
It all starts with clarity. I'll work with you to diagnose the real business challenge or opportunity, then build a clear, data-driven action plan with measurable KPIs, tailored to your budget and business goals.
2. Creativity with Pragmatism
My edge is agency level creative thinking grounded with client side pragmatism. My commitment is no grand ideas you can’t actually execute, just effective solutions grounded in business reality.
3. Commitment to Excellence
I get into the weeds, do my research and treat your business like it's my own. Near enough is never good enough, and my goal is always to deliver measurable impact that delivers ROI and commercial value.
