In this episode, we're joined by Doug Kimball, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Digital Science, who shares his unconventional journey from counseling to product marketing – and the through-line that connects both: clear, human communication.

Doug unpacks his go-to framework – "So What? Why? Who Cares?" – and how it keeps messaging sharp and impactful. He reflects on his time at Nielsen, where a rare pivot through sales gave him a 360° view of how products are built and sold, and at Blue Yonder, where he developed competitive strategy from scratch.

Now at Digital Science, he's focused on building a cohesive product marketing team and the frameworks to help it thrive. He's also authored a book on messaging and is active on LinkedIn as a mentor and connector.
