Dave Grauel

Podcast Host & Producer and Director of Marketing

As a 20+ year creative professional, Dave’s career has included experience in both agency and internal marketing departments serving in the roles of graphic designer, creative lead, marketing department manager, and director of marketing across verticals from small family-owned businesses to healthcare marketing, safety engineering, digital marketing, and international relations.

By day, as a director of marketing for Unlock Health, Dave oversees the creation, implementation, and results of the agency's annual marketing plan with a direct eye on meeting the organization’s overall growth plan. Working across all healthcare verticals with a direct focus on senior living and behavioral health, he provides the company and its leadership with an omnimedia plan of marketing opportunities and deliverables that showcase its best-in-class team as the leading provider of performance websites and digital marketing services in healthcare.

No matter the industry Dave has worked in, he has held to the truth that the foundation of successful marketing is the ability to tell a good story. All marketing is making a human-to-human connection at the intersection of a brand’s “why and what” and a customer’s “how.” Building from that unique story of value and differentiation is what makes marketing strategies click.

Hailing from Annapolis, MD, Dave loves all things related to Baltimore sports, cooking, photography, being on the water, and traveling. For the last two years Dave, his wife Heidi, and their six kids are using the opportunity of the remote work environment to take an extended RV trip around the country. As of spring 2024 Dave and his family are calling Bluffton South Carolina home.
