David Furmage set the consultancy up in 2009. He previously worked for the Regional Development Agency on Policy and Cluster Management in the Creative & Digital Industries. His management role was focused on the following areas:

> Developing and implementing a Cluster Plan for the Creative & Digital Media Sector, and contributing to the development of the Regional Economic Strategy.

> Building partnerships with many organisations and businesses throughout the West Midlands, ensuring that the agencies policies and projects strengthened the region’s overall ‘offer’ to the creative and digital industries.

> Developing new projects, writing bids and strategically managing existing projects with a total value to the sector of more than £20m.

> Building up the region’s profile as a ‘Digital and Creative’ Hub. This involved preparing and delivering presentations to audiences across many organisations and events. These were both in the UK and across their European partners in Belgium, France, Italy and beyond.

> Developing regional responses to national policy for digital and creative industries, including: Digital Britain, Creative Economy Programme, Skills Agenda, Future of Television, Regional ‘Cross-Media’ Production and more.

In addition to spending 2.5 years in strategy and policy, David has run a variety of businesses within the Digital Media Sector, often developing cutting-edge technologies.

As well as handling projects through Digital YoYo, David is very interested in working as an associate on larger projects, working to major, well-established consultancies.
