Doug James

Doug knows how sausage is made. He’s received 2 a.m. emails from Steve Jobs in haiku. He created the first commercials to run on PBS. (Sorry.) He’s shot on every continent but Antarctica and been told by five Fortune 500 CMOs that “this is the most important campaign you’ll ever do.”

For the last two years, he's led GTB’s digital and social creative for Ford. Before moving to Detroit, he spent four years in Shanghai overseeing all Ford creative throughout Asia Pacific and launching Lincoln in China. Yet he still barely speaks a word of Mandarin.

Doug has three kids, two and a half dogs, and an amazing wife, all of whom are smarter and funnier than he is.
