James Dowd

From proudly winning a poetry award at the age of six to never again winning an award he was proud of (insecurity, not ego), James Dowd is a sometimes-award-winning Writer and Creative Director at Digital Surgeons with nearly two decades of experience spanning TV production and advertising.

In recent years, going from many quickly-cancelled TV shows at MTV to the adworld of Madison Avenue, James spends most of his time writing and creating for brands such as Kellogg's, Mercedes, Anheuser-Busch, Mars, Sealy, Sperry, Capital One, Diageo, Ford, (Is anyone still reading these?), Kraft, and the NHL. Outside of all that, he spends his time zoning out on hiking trails, neglecting normal adult responsibilities, and hanging out with his mutts, Lucy & The Jeb.
