In 2016, Doug jumped out of the music industry aeroplane and started building his copywriting parachute as he plummeted towards the ground. Luckily, his writing skills, perseverance and interest in customers were the safety harness and canopy he needed, while cold email outreach allowed him to land safely deep inside commercial writing territory. Before long, he had the contacts and reputation to maintain a steady stream of work - notably with StrategiQ, starting a relationship that would see him accept an in-house position at the start of 2021. He's loved being part of the team ever since.
