I'm Dave Falcone. For over twenty five years I've been helping networks increase ratings, launch new channels, strengthen brands, build strong teams and create effective operations.
Creative strategy, direction and execution are my passion, core strength and experience. The work on this site will give you a good sense of what I have been up to, including expanding into non broadcast arenas like education and corporate video. I hope you like what you see.
Thank you for visiting my site and I look forward to speaking with you.
In the spring of 2009 Falcone Creative LLC was formed offering creative direction, development, stratgey, writing and producing services.
From 2006 - 2009 Dave was with the Travel Channel leading the creative re-brand of the network, launching defining series and helping to bring innovation across the organization.
Prior to that efforts, he was with Discovery Communications (DCI) helping them execute several major initiatives including launching the Military Channel and re-designing the Science Channel, Discovery Home Channel and Discovery HD Theatre. He also helped to introduced America to the Discovery On-Demand VOD service.

After three years with TLC, Dave was chosen to help lead the launch of Discovery Digital Network’s suite of six new channels. He was picked soon after to launch Discovery Health Media, and worked for the next two years to position DHM as a leader in online and television health-related entertainment and information.
Early in his career Dave was employed by WHYY, a PBS station in Philadelphia leading the Creative Services department. His career began at WCAU, CBS in Philadelphia where he worked in news, sports and programming for several years.
