David Mitchell

David Mitchell is a partner at GMMB. After several years in broadcasting, David has spent more than 30 years as a strategic communications consultant. He guides many of GMMB's cause and issue activities, particularly those related to health care and public health in the United States and abroad.
  
David led GMMB's work on a global advertising campaign for the Save Darfur Coalition in support of sustainable peace and an end to the genocide in Darfur. The ads increased worldwide public pressure to help the people of the region.  He also guides GMMB's work on global development for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

David played a key role in the development of the Click It or Ticket campaign, which has increased seat belt use in the United States from 61 percent to 82 percent. He led GMMB's work on the Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign, which is credited with reducing child deaths from air bags by more than 95 percent. The National Transportation Safety Board called the shift to keep kids out of the front seat "one of the most remarkably successful changes in societal behavior in recent decades, rivaling changes in attitudes toward smoking and drunk driving."
