About Make Waves

Marketing for businesses that already do good work.

We're a small studio of designers, writers, and producers who care a little too much about how things look, and a lot about whether they actually work.

What we believe

Three values, on repeat.

Earn the trust

We don't promise miracles. We promise work that holds up the second time someone looks at it.

Plain language

If we can't explain it simply, we won't do it.

Ship & stay

We launch the work and stay close. Marketing isn't a one-and-done.

David Gravois

Founder, Make Waves Marketing

David Gravois helps business owners turn complicated marketing decisions into a clear plan for growth. He founded Make Waves Marketing, formerly Gravois Graphics, to help businesses explain what they do, build trust, and make it easier for customers to take the next step.

He spent five years in oil and gas recruiting at Danos, alongside work in human resources and corporate marketing. That background informs the agency's oilfield and marine marketing and shapes his approach: understand the people, ask useful questions, and build around what the business needs to accomplish.

With roots in Thibodaux, Louisiana, and a home base in Jacksonville, Florida, David leads an agency focused on web design, social media management, and practical AI consulting. He draws on hands-on experience to help clients sharpen their message, improve their websites, and put AI to work in their daily operations.
