CEO and Head of Hoopla

I got into corporate theater from the production side. In college I started a company with four friends supplying stagehand labor to local venues. I moved to England after graduating and worked for The Unusual Rigging Company; we staged large scale corporate events throughout Europe and worldwide rock and roll tours. A great job for a single guy in his twenties!

Moving to Seattle in the mid-90s, I landed a job with Watts Silverstein and Associates – a small communications agency where I learned the creative side of the business and met many of the talented people I still work with today. In 2005 I opened The Edge Creative with the goal of creating a company where good people like to work and clients keep coming back. I’m proud of the company we’ve become and excited to see where we’ll go.

In my role as CEO and Head of Hoopla, I’m a facilitator with a creative bent. I find the biggest joy in collaborating with colleagues and clients to develop ideas far beyond one person’s vision. My favorite moments on a project are when we come up with ‘The Nugget’ that will drive our creative energies to produce great work, and then seeing it all come together onsite, or at the end of an edit session. Developing a project from concept to completion is thrilling…and apparently addictive.

Call me Davey J. My first paying job was a sales clerk at 7-11, where I won $100 for a contest to make the coolest display for the 32-ounce Big Gulp. Who drinks 32 ounces of soda?!



I started doing professional graphic design when I was 18. After 12 years in advertising and 5 years creative directing for the Web, I discovered motion graphics and video. A colleague of mine asked me to design some animation that he could project on a really really big surface for an event and I was 
hooked! I am a film and video director, editor, creative director, graphic designer, and media consultant; I’ve worked on video and event projects with The Edge Creative in these capacities for over 6 years.

COO and Designated Adult

I discovered the extraordinary world of corporate theater back in the mid-70′s. I was teaching school and spent a summer working for a small creative agency – I’ve been in the business ever since, as a producer, stage manager, general manager, vp of production, and as a creative and client lead.

My job with The Edge Creative is perfect for me. I wear a variety of hats (often in the same day!) and I’m never bored. I work with a great team, I learn something every single day, and regularly get to take risks and laugh hard. I met Peter more than a decade ago when he came to work for me as a producer at Watts Silverstein and Associates. It’s a lovely karmic twist that I now work for Peter, and a laugh that I’m the “designated adult”!

I grew up in Port Orchard, a small town in Western Washington. After college I was working as a receptionist but wanted to do something else. My carpool buddy said a friend she knew from college “does something with marketing, travels a lot, and likes her job.” With only that to go on, I did some research and started emailing her friend looking for work. I had no experience, but it turns out gumption is a good quality for a producer and the friend hired me as a production assistant at Watts Silverstein and Associates.

I met Peter on my first project with Watts; I worked as his Production Coordinator for an Intel event in Santa Clara. It was the first time I had room service! Over the past 13 years I have evolved into an independent Producer and have travelled much of the world. I am happiest when it is late at night and everyone is rallying to get the project done; everyone is laughing because they are so tired but working toward the same goal. I really like the teamwork. And I still get a kick out of room service!

Following 7 successful new ship launches for Holland America Line (HAL), producer extraordinaire Julie Hunt and her Edge Creative team recently helped launch the Seabourn Quest – the newest ship in Carnival’s ultra-luxury Seabourn brand.

Earlier this year Carnival Corporation relocated Seabourn headquarters to Seattle to join its sister company Holland America Line. Carnival also named Rick Meadows, our long-time HAL client, as the new President of Seabourn. With the launch of the Seabourn Quest just 6 months away, and given Julie’s track record, it’s no wonder Rick wanted her on the team.

The Seabourn Quest Launch Video

Inaugural events started with a series of introductory Mediterranean cruises for media and travel professionals. The Edge produced supporting media and provided executive speech writing for the onboard press, sales, and crew recognition events. Meanwhile, Julie and her crew also conducted executive interviews and captured b-roll of the gorgeous new ship. In a testament to The Edge’s ability to multi-task across 9 time zones and with a producer literally at sea, we had a highlights video of the new ship up on Seabourn’s website before Quest even launched.

The marketing events were capped off in Barcelona, with an elegant Dedication Ceremony featuring Rick Meadows and the ship’s Godmother, Blythe Danner. Julie’s team produced the dedication speeches, all the pre-produced video and show graphics, and filmed the day’s events. Footage from the Godmother Tour and Dedication Ceremony was used to create a new ending on the highlights video, which was once again completed and on the Seabourn site in record time.

Kudos to Julie, Brendan, Doug, Steve, Virginia, and Bob for a job incredibly well done.

Account Manager

I play two roles at The Edge although I see them as intricately intertwined. I oversee projects and accounts, developing and maintaining relationships with our clients and our creative teams, keeping communications open, problem solving, managing and making sure we deliver the goods. I’m also responsible for leading our team in developing new biz.

Truth is I’ve played many production roles throughout my career. During my time in L.A., I handled travel logistics for rock musicians. I worked a long stint as assistant to various production execs at Columbia Pictures. In 1989 I went to work for a successful film producer and climbed the ranks to co-producer. I ended up at HBO as a director of production, overseeing all aspects of the day-to-day physical production of HBO’s well-known feature films. I moved to the Seattle area in 2000 and while my goal was to open a bed & breakfast (in my mind that was still producing…) here I am in the event industry instead.
