Daniel "Danny" Gallagher is a seasoned professional who excels in blending storytelling with brand marketing. With over a decade of experience, he has collaborated with talented creatives to craft compelling brand narratives that resonate deeply with audiences.
Danny's career began in the tourism, travel, and hospitality industries in Hawaii, where he worked with renowned brands such as the Ritz-Carlton, Marriott, Snapchat, Red Bull, TikTok, and more. His expertise spans branding, marketing, communications, digital advertising, and influencer marketing.
As the owner and lead youth culture marketer at Future Collective in Tokyo, Danny leads a dynamic team specializing in connecting brands with influencers, with a focus on engaging Millennials and Gen Z. Their multicultural background gives them a unique advantage in bridging Western and Eastern markets.
In addition to his work at Future Collective, Danny is passionate about "For the Love of Versace," an immersive vintage fashion project honoring Gianni Versace's legacy and advocating for women's rights. Through The Fay Collection, his archive of over 5,000 pre-mortem Gianni Versace designer pieces, he hosts events and activations celebrating fashion and equality.
Born to a Japanese-American mother and an Irish-American father, Danny grew up in Honolulu and now resides in Tokyo. Fluent in English and learning Japanese, he sees language as a tool to bridge cultures. Often traveling between Hawaii and Japan, Danny is always seeking new ways to unite people through his work.
Danny is also the executive producer for the groundbreaking documentary "Tired of Walking," deeply involved in shedding light on Japan's mental health crisis and suicide phenomenon. In this documentary, 'The Walker' (Danny) and 'The Brother' (Sean Osada) embark on an unprecedented 10,000-kilometer walking odyssey across Japan, carrying the shoes and stories of seven lives lost to suicide.
As they traverse Japan's diverse landscapes, they are joined by a myriad of voices, including bereaved families, mental health professionals, celebrities, influencers, and change-makers. Through intimate conversations, the documentary challenges stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental illness, advocating for empathy, understanding, and support.
'The Walker' and 'The Brother' become catalysts for change, sparking vital conversations in communities across Japan and around the world. Their journey is not just physical but deeply emotional and transformative, culminating in a powerful plea for greater awareness and action. This documentary is more than a film; it's a movement.
