Alan Berman
Executive Vice President (1990 – present)
"What we like about Alan is he spends our money as he would his own."
As Director of Client Services, Alan considers that compliment a pretty good description of the Davis approach to advertising. In his other role, as head of the Media Department, Alan drives hard bargains to make sure clients get the most out of their advertising investment. It's all part of Alan's "no-nonsense" approach to business and life: Be decisive. Make it happen. Work hard and play harder.
No one plays harder than Alan, especially if it involves a motor. Motorcycles, cars, trucks, boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, tractors, lawn mowers - even weed-wackers - bring out the hot rod dare devil that hides within that conservative business suit. If it makes power, Alan will tear it down, tune it up and see what it can do.
But, behind the gruff, take-no-prisoners persona he presents, Alan is also dedicated to community service, not only in his home town, but in Worcester business circles as well, having served as president of the Worcester Ad Club and numerous community boards of directors. Sometimes visible, but often behind the scenes, Alan is known as the go-to guy when you need to get something done. Having set records selling media, Alan then set out to use his insights and hands-on experience to help advertisers get the very best media buys. As a partner at Davis Advertising, Alan has helped the Agency become one of the leading retail advertising agencies in New England. |

Paul has been the guiding force over an art department of fifteen talented and award-winning designers, illustrators, and web masters for many years.
