Douglas Spencer

Douglas Spencer is president of Spencer Brenneman, LLC, which helps purpose-driven organizations renew their focus and reframe their messages to thrive in any environment.

With a multi-decade career in for-profit marketing and a lifelong dedication to volunteerism, including two years as chairman of a $100 million community health center and research institute, Douglas is uniquely poised to help purpose-driven organizations tell their important stories.

Before starting Spencer Brenneman, he was Vice President, Global Head of Brand for Thomson Reuters, a global $13 billion information company. In that role, he guided the migration of the multiple Thomson and Reuters businesses to form the then-new Thomson Reuters brand, which consistently ranked within the top 50 of the BusinessWeek Best Global Brands survey.

Douglas graduated from Marietta College with a bachelor of arts in journalism and has served on the college’s alumni association board of directors. In addition, he currently sits on the board for SpeakEasy Stage, a Boston-based theatre company telling the bold stories of often underheard voices.
