Why Dave Marcy
Stands Out

Dave Marcy is a marketing entrepreneur and Co-Founder/Co-CEO of Awestruck, a streaming-focused advertising agency built to help home improvement contractors reach homeowners where they actually spend their time — on connected TV and streaming platforms. With a career spanning more than two decades in media sales and advertising, Dave began at Comcast Spotlight as a Regional Account Executive before rising through roles at NBCUniversal and CBS-3 Philadelphia, where he served as Digital Sales Manager. In 2019, he co-founded Awestruck alongside Ryan Sprance, building a platform that has evolved into a full streaming advertising and AI-powered marketing operation serving contractors nationwide. Dave is known for challenging the siloed, channel-first thinking that plagues contractor marketing, instead advocating for audience-first strategies that mirror how real homeowners consume media. He also co-hosts The Awestruck Marketing Podcast and recently co-founded Sugarcane and Wanderlust Property Ventures, reflecting his broader entrepreneurial drive.
