David (Lefty) Leibowitz’s Summary

I'm a senior level interactive marketing strategist with experience at global agencies such as Ogilvy Interactive and Young & Rubicam Brands. Former clients include Microsoft, Ford Motor Company, MTV, Coca-Cola, L'Oreal and Condé Nast.

In 1999 I founded Jinx Multimedia, where I created interactive campaigns and web applications for clients such as Victoria's Secret, Kinko's, IBM, and Schering-Plough. In 2003 I co-founded Gotham Girls Roller Derby, which draws over 1,000 people every month, and has been covered in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and on CNN.

I am the author of Invisible Frontier: Exploring the Tunnels, Ruins, and Rooftops of Hidden New York (Random House, 2003). The book received favorable mention in New York Magazine, The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Details, The Boston Globe, Publisher’s Weekly and on the NBC and FOX television networks.

I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas and an MBA from NYU's Stern School of Business.
