About Doug
 
I’ve spent my career building, growing, and selling ad agencies. Now I’m focused on helping others do the same. Much of my agency expertise lies in long-term strategic planning as well as product/menu innovation for a variety of clients in the food/beverage industry. Today I lead an advertising agency consultancy called Austin Amplifies; specializing in helping independent agencies find their next level, whatever that may look like for them. 
Agency Fit
 
Having worked in both B2C and B2B agencies in New York City, Dallas, and the Midwest, I find that I have the biggest impact on individual ownership structured agencies that have 10-100 employees, and a deep desire to grow or sell. 

In my role as agency consultant,  I'm often asked about my approach to gaining new business, which I am quick to rephrase as my approach to business development and overall agency growth. In my book Permission to Win you can learn all about the approach that lead to the evolution and growth of our own agency into a successful network of three full service ad agencies and one product and menu development firm. This is the same approach I have been implementing with agencies around the globe as they set out to sustainably grow their business and create opportunity for their teams and clients.

The best ideas come from independent thinkers who own the outcome.

"We hired Doug to help us prepare for a pitch to a monster client. He helped formulate our presentation, coached our team and prepared us for the Q&A. AND WE WON!!! There isn’t a clearer cause-and-effect outcome to any consultant we’ve ever hired.”
