Helping you tell your story and build your brand to make more impact.
I drive growth and build community through strong storytelling, branding that resonates, and content that converts.
Hello! You’ve landed on the online home of Daniel Francavilla.
I’m a multi-disciplinary matcha-drinking creative guy in Toronto. I invite you to browse my bio or read my latest insights. If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to reach out or book a call.
I’m a problem solver.
I work with founders, leaders, and their teams to refine or rethink their brand and tell compelling stories so they can grow and make more impact.
Rather than gatekeeping secrets, I provide real value, make connections and make strategy more accessible.
And I believe everyone has a compelling story to tell.
Strategy and advising for business and nonprofits.
Strategic marketing guidance.
Solving bigger problems.
Over the last decade, I’ve worked with dozens of founders, executive directors, CEOs and their teams who see the gaps in their marketing and communications or overarching branding. (And I’ve seen it on the inside, too, having past roles in the public, private and nonprofit sectors). Whether you’re most in need of a facilitated deep-dive session now, or ongoing monthly support, I apply my expertise and experience to the biggest challenges and opportunities you face.
Collaborating with and Supporting
Founders, entrepreneurs and startups.
As a serial entrepreneur who’s founded, partnered on and advised multiple ventures for over a decade, I know what it’s like to start from scratch, go to market, get funded and scale. I remain an active member of several startup and entrepreneurship communities.
Non-profit organizations, associations and charities.
I got my start in nonprofits nearly 2 decades ago when launching my own, and know what it takes to secure grant funding and sponsorship and showcase impact. I’ve since supported countless organizations to reach their goals. As an active member of associations, I’ve also helped others to grow membership and advocacy.
Local governments and academic institutions.
With my experiences teaching (in 3 Ontario colleges and 1 University) and working in marketing and economic development within one of Canada’s largest cities, I am familiar with the communication styles, political sensitivities and approval processes required for these industries.
Focus on impact.
The Newsletter
Meet you at the intersection.
I believe the magic happens at the intersections. I work at the intersections of marketing, non-profits, training, education and entrepreneurship. Through my newsletter, you’ll get a taste of that through my content, as I share insights that apply to multiple industries and individuals.
