Doug Walker Email & Phone Number

I’m an experienced marketing communication leader who has built brands and driven transactions in a wide variety of categories. I currently lead The Home Depot media business for OMD. I ran the pitch and built a team that develops 200+ campaigns a year for The Home Depot’s brand and promotional events group, audience driven business units, and retail media team. Prior to The Home Depot, I led the AT&T business at BBDO for 15 years. I know, 15 years, all on one account, unheard of in the agency business. But they say if you want to see real change, stay in one place for a while. It was that change that kept me engaged and challenged for 15 yearsI led a fully integrated team that managed a budget well over $1 billion. We created a lot of work that worked. We grew the wireless business from 20 million to 145 million subscribers. We established U-Verse TV and DIRECTV NOW as the fastest growing television services in their categories. And, we successfully launched a number of new devices working with all the major manufactures such as Apple, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Microsoft, and BlackberryWe not only grew AT&T's business, we also grew BBDO's adding the U-verse Television and Internet business in 2007, Business Solutions in 2010, Digital Life Home Automation and Security in 2012, and DIRECTV in 2016. And, if awards are your thing, we established AT&T as one of BBDO’s most awarded accounts winning hundreds of awards including four Effies, eleven Cannes Lions, and a Jay Chiat award for strategic excellence.There's a lot more I could share. Everything from working with major sponsorship properties like The Masters, Olympics, and NCAA Football and Basketball, to launching new channels on DIRECTV for Taylor Swift and Reese Witherspoon, to creating innovative programs like an unscripted, interactive show for teens that unfolded totally on social media. But, things like this are best shared in person. If you'd like learn more, it would be great to talk.
