Testimonials
"When we worked together at Windsor (Vero Beach, FL.), David and his team were a pleasure to work with. Their marketing and publicity efforts led to excellent results. To this day, we continue to benefit from David’s sage advice and confidently recommend the David Pearson Associates team to developers in search of long term marketing vision and expert execution."

"In 1970 I recommended David Pearson to Gulf + Western. He put my Teeth of the Dog golf course, and Casa de Campo, on the map. Now he and his son Chris are promoting Santa Barbara Plantation in Curacao, where my son P.B. and I are designing a course. Alice says it’s in the genes."
-- Pete Dye, Golf Course Architect


"When frequently asked by new clients what firm is the most capable of delivering a solid and successful punch in creating their marketing program, I automatically state that David Pearson is the guy. David has proven his creative genius and tireless dedication on numerous projects in the Caribbean, Mexico and in the U.S. for clients and projects where our golf course was often the key amenity. We will continue to recommend and bet on David’s abilities because, for selfish reasons, we always want to be identified with highly successful projects."
-- Robert von Hagge, Golf Course Architect


For over thirty years I have known David Pearson as a strategic thinker with a crisp communications style. He has contributed to several of the most successful resort properties in the United States and the Caribbean. On the dark side, David has a profound interest and grasp of politics and my resume is the beneficiary. His friendship and wise counsel are personal treasures.
-- Bob Graham, Former U.S. Senator and Governor of Florida


"Since I first worked with David Pearson when we shared Fisher Island as a client, through the excellent work his firm did with our tennis center at Landfall in North Carolina, I have nothing but respect for his firm. We are now working with his son Chris and a staff of talented professionals as we plan a new tennis complex for Portones Del Mar in Panama. With the Pearsons on our team, we fully expect nothing less than a straight set victory."
