Doug Fish’s Summary

After 25 years in this business, I founded Fish Marketing with the belief that small and medium-sized businesses can be more profitable and efficient when they partner with a full-service marketing firm.

My goal: produce highly effective marketing campaigns for our clients and provide an exceptional and fulfilling work environment for our employees.

My experience includes 30 years in marketing primarily on the agency side. I'm an account services specialist with a strong background in strategic and brand planning, and new business development.
