About David Grech Urpani
My passion for writing and creating something different has led me down a weird and wonderful path that’s still unfolding before my eyes. I went from learning how to fly planes and studying law to realising that media and communicating a message to the pubilc (be it serious or completely satirical) was always what I wanted to the most. That kicked off a 10-year spell as a teacher with one of the country’s most prominent English schools, EF, where I ended up as a Director of Studies and representing Malta a number of times in London. Then, seven years ago, Lovin Malta was founded, and I was contacted with a proposition to start writing for the start-up with grand plans for the future. Thousands of articles, dozens of campaigns, and endless shows, collaborations and activations later, the rest is history, with my role in the company currently using everything I’ve learnt from the local media landscape as Lovin Malta’s Head of Content.

What Advice would you give?
Never be afraid of collaborating. You won't be halving your glory or exposure, you'll be doubling it. Besides, the best idea is almost always a collage of a bunch of different ones.
