Building relationships that last

I've worked with Douglas for several years, including on multiple major reports and more than five global articles. They are the best I’ve worked with, having worked with over ten editors on major publications.

Our compliments to the Douglas team for tackling a complex topic and making it so appealing. The final article is a terrific exploration of the issues and challenges of sharing data. It held my attention while covering a lot of ground, and I believe it will appeal to a large audience.
