Doug Carroll’s Expertise I am an Arizona-based, award-winning former journalist who applies my years of writing, editing and research experience to creating compelling content. In a PR News survey, 80% of senior communicators at agencies, corporations and nonprofits identified writing as the top skill their team needs to improve. That's where I come in. I am a clear and concise writer, a thoughtful editor and a content developer across multiple platforms. I thrive in a fast-paced environment that has high standards and hard deadlines. I do difficult. I find meaning in challenging work that produces creative growth, just as I do in aiming for PRs (personal records) as a runner. To discuss my skills in communications, public relations, media relations, branding and team leadership, please add me as a connection and contact me at 480-213-0599 or [email protected]. I am actively seeking freelance writing opportunities. I am especially interested in those that might involve my passion for running, fitness and wellness, although I am not limiting myself in that regard. My life philosophy: Better to go down with your integrity than up without it. Favorite quotes: "I hate writing, but I love having written" (Dorothy Parker) and "If service is beneath you, then leadership is beyond you" (Unknown) Favorite way to spend an hour: Go for a run. The mind clears when the body is engaged. **************************************** SELECTED CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS Implemented digital and social media strategies where none had existed for city in metro Atlanta.
