David Cicconi is an award-winning creative leader with 20+ years of experience directing visual strategy, brand identity, and high-volume production of full-funnel content for global media brands and high-growth start-ups, driving awareness, acquisition, and conversion across all consumer touchpoints.

He has a proven track record building and scaling in-house creative studios and teams, from the ground up, that innovate and partner across highly matrixed organizations, exemplified most recently by his tenure as one of Marc Lore’s founding creative leaders at Wonder. During David’s run, the startup went from a $400MM Series A raise to a total raise of $3B and a $9B valuation.

While David was Director of Photography at Travel + Leisure, the publication received dozens of awards and reached new highs in its luxury and fashion advertising sales due to his initiative to align the magazine’s editorial visuals more closely with its publishing objectives.

After his time as a PDN 30 photographer, David went on to self-publish Trunk, an acclaimed global lifestyle magazine, with worldwide reach, elite marketing partnerships, and multiple accolades.

As Creative Director at Epicurious.com, he was a leader on the team that rebranded and relaunched the Epicurious digital experience to respond to consumer needs and to distinguish itself in a saturated digital food media landscape.

As Creative Director at Food & Wine, David spearheaded a rebrand with a stylistic overhaul of video, photography, and design across multiple channels, aligning Food & Wine’s content with evolving consumer expectations and reinvigorating brand relevance.
