Award-winning Creative Director and Copywriter

Hello, I'm Dan Dougherty, a seasoned creative director and copywriter with over 30 years in the advertising and public relations industries, highlighted by a decade each creating advertising for General Motors and operating my own agency. Now as a freelance creative professional based in Healdsburg’s wine country, I bring a unique mix of traditional advertising wisdom, digital innovation, and a deep understanding of storytelling to businesses like yours.

The Personal Touch of a Freelancer

The appeal of Healdsburg and its various brands is that they are authentic and artisan. I take the same approach in providing creative services to my clients. I specialize in working directly with clients to create messaging that is authentic and artistic. What sets me apart is my deep-rooted understanding of consumer behavior, sharpened through my advertising career and extensive background in screenwriting. This understanding allows me to craft compelling brand messages that engage and resonate with audiences.

The Network to Scale to Agency-level Services

Plus, my extensive network allows me to scale to meet larger projects as needed. Whether you’re a winery, hotel, restaurant, or brewery, I’m adept at weaving your unique story into every facet of your branding and marketing materials. Services include:

Advertising and graphic design

Social media content and management
Photography and videography

My approach is to not just showcase your brand but to tell its story in a way that connects emotionally with your customers and creates lasting brand loyalty.
