David Plaine
Chairman & Founder | Certified Business Communicator (CBC)
David Plaine brings over 40 years of hands-on expertise in sales, advertising, and strategic communications. As the former owner and operator of a full-service advertising agency for 15 years, David spent decades helping businesses navigate traditional media, public relations, and brand building.
Following his agency leadership, David transitioned into executive consulting and pursued a personal passion for sustainable home gardening. Today, as Chairman of Arrow Marketing Associates, LLC, he combines his extensive agency background with cutting-edge AI automation, chatbot deployment, and high-ticket affiliate marketing.
David’s dual focus bridges modern technological innovation—like AI-powered lead generation and iOS/Android app development—with values-based recommendations for sustainable outdoor products, including commercial-grade Arcadia Greenhouses.

Growing With You Sustainably
Our work sits at the intersection of smart marketing and sustainable living.

Relationships matter here, so we focus on steady, long-term growth rather than quick fixes.
