Remembering

David Mitchell

(1950-2026)

David Mitchell helped build GMMB to use strategic communications as a force for good. David (1950-2026) believed communications could do more than persuade, it could improve lives. He helped shape this firm around the idea that lasting progress comes from bringing research, policy, and storytelling together in service of people. We honor David’s legacy by continuing the work he devoted his life to, fighting for what matters, and leaving the world better than we found it.

David Mitchell was a founding partner of GMMB and the second “M” in our name. He helped shape the firm’s mission around the belief that strategic communications can drive real and lasting change. He expanded GMMB’s work beyond political consulting, applying the discipline of campaigns to public health, safety, and social progress, helping save lives and change norms nationwide. A demanding strategist, generous mentor, and principled leader, he made everyone around him better. His legacy lives on in GMMB’s work and values, and in the countless lives improved because of his commitment to what matters most.

“David fundamentally shaped who GMMB became. He broadened our work beyond politics and proved that strategic communications, done with rigor and integrity, could drive positive, lasting change to improve people’s lives and build stronger communities.” -Frank Greer
