I briefly sat down with Doug Zanger to talk about branding, advertising, and creativity.

To some, he’s been referred to as Uncle Advertising. To others, he’s the NJ native living in Portland, OR, with a bohemian point of view on the industry.

To me, he’s a big reason I’m doing what I’m doing.

You see, years back when I was a young buck just trying to get my name out there, I connected with Advertising Week as an aspiring contributor and got sent to Doug. Doug was creating a blogging community within Advertising Week called Advertising Week Social Club and invited me to be a member.

The rest as they say is history.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. As for Doug, he’s just a ball of energy and if you’re not aware of his latest venture, The Indie Agency News, consider this your wake-up call and CTA.

Happy listening.
