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.
