They also happen to be our name. What a stroke of hereditary good fortune.
Dave and Gail Newbold are writers and creative thinkers by trade. In fact, we met in a journalism class, and courted while working at a newspaper — Dave on the advertising side, Gail on the editorial side. Tender, right?
Dave Newbold, retired President & Creative Director of Richter7, Utah’s most awarded ad agency, has happily returned to his roots -- writing, creative direction and brand strategy, with a smidgen of gardening thrown in for good measure. Agency management, administrative and personnel duties are no longer on Dave's "to-do" list.
Big sigh of relief.
Gail, formerly Senior Editor/Writer for Community Magazine, an award-winning consumer publication reaching 75,000 readers in the Intermountain West, with a focus on travel, arts and food, now does freelance writing and editing for various clients.
This glorious gig is called New.Bold.
At New.Bold., Dave and Gail are accompanied by a handful of skilled, on-call individuals, coincidentally named Newbold. These folks happen to be unusually talented at writing, digital design, social media, public relations, promotions, marketing strategy, travel planning, long-distance biking and psycho-therapy. Not necessarily in that order.
SOME PEOPLE WANT TO BECOME RICH AND FAMOUS. WE JUST WANT TO BE CREATIVELY ENGAGED. REALLY. THIS IS NOT A GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEME. AT THIS POINT IN LIFE, WE DO IT SOLELY BECAUSE WE ENJOY IT.
Dave’s writing and creative direction have earned numerous accolades from the nation’s most prestigious advertising competitions, including Communication Arts, One Show, The New York Festivals, and the Clio Awards. Gail’s writing and editing skills helped Community win numerous national awards, as well. And now, decades after making eyes at each other while employed for the Daily Universe, we are still plunking on keyboards. Just guessing, but we may be the most experienced writing duo along the Wasatch Front. If you have something to say, we'll help you say it -- with power and clarity.
We call it "writing worth reading."
