OUR
STORY
CELEBRITY CAPITAL WAS FOUNDED
by David Petro, an executive producer and sponsorship strategist who has redefined how celebrities and brands collaborate. Trained in musical theatre at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, David began his career as a Broadway performer, starring in acclaimed productions before becoming one of the industry’s leading casting directors for Broadway, major studios and television networks including Warner Brothers, Universal, MGM, Disney, NBC, Nickelodeon, and FOX. His early work shaped award-winning projects across stage and screen, giving him a deep understanding of storytelling, talent, and audience connection.

BUILDING
ON THAT
FOUNDATION,
David pioneered a model that reverse-engineers celebrity involvement to drive sponsorship and brand partnerships, turning celebrity talent from an event expense into a source of revenue. That model changed how organizations plan events and sell sponsorship. A-list talent becomes the reason sponsors invest, delivering measurable and impactful ROI.
TALENT ACCESS WITHOUT A FIXED ROSTER.
From Elton John, Taylor Swift, and Zendaya to Tony Robbins, Gordon Ramsay, Martha Stewart, Ryan Reynolds, and Jennifer Lopez, David’s network spans the world’s most recognizable names. His clients include Google, Cisco, Oracle, American Heart Association, and Stanford University, all of whom trust him to turn moments into memories with events designed to pay for themselves and deliver measurable ROI.
