## Competitive Positioning
Splash Creative occupies the gap between:
– Local boutiques that lack strategic depth
– Large agencies where senior people pitch but junior teams execute
David Herskowitz leads every project personally. The creative director who runs the strategy workshop is the same person who directs the visual identity, reviews every web page, and is reachable throughout. For companies that want a genuine creative partner rather than a vendor, this is the structural difference that matters.
