PresidentHattaway Communications
Doug founded Hattaway Communications to help visionary leaders and organizations use the power of strategy, science, and storytelling to achieve ambitious goals for people and the planet. A storyteller by training—in journalism and creative writing—he is passionate about adapting insights from the social sciences to enhance the power of strategic communications.
He pioneered an approach known as Aspirational Communication, which was featured in a Stanford Social Innovation Review cover story about the historic marriage equality movement and Truth anti-smoking campaign, which “transformed public attitudes by connecting their causes to the personal aspirations of their audiences.”
Doug has three decades of experience working with leaders at the highest levels of U.S. politics and government, international organizations and NGOs, cutting-edge businesses, and the world’s largest foundations.
