BRANDS & BRAGS

I’m too British to brag, but I have worked for close over a decade on-demand in agencies, writing everything from 360° campaigns down to pithy one-liners. Contracts ranging from one-day to over a year, in massive agencies, tiny production companies and direct to client. Here lies the inevitable wall of brands and agencies, alongside some of the things people have been kind enough to say about me.

Doug is fantastic to work with. His writing and ideas are completely unique and he has proved a real asset to the constant demand of content generation. His writing background is not of the traditional advertising route and it has enabled his writing and ideas to stay very fresh indeed. Do not hesitate to work with Doug!
— Sarah Clift Writer/Director UK Partner Madrefoca Films (and former Creative Director McCann London & Paris)
Doug is a rare creative talent. He has brought curiosity, imagination and intelligence to every brief we’ve given him, and we’ve given him a few! From untangling our complex corporate communications to creating playful copy and concepts across our multiple campaigns, he always gets to the heart of the brief and delivers work that is meaningful, on point and a little bit fun when it needs to be. He’s also an absolute joy to work with!
