Doug Hohener is a TAB-Certified Facilitator and Coach acting as the Contract Facilitator in York Region.

As the President and Founder of CreativeWorks Marketing, Doug has over 20 years of strategic marketing expertise and has created brands across a wide variety of verticals, from paint spray guns and animal travel companies, to colleges and multinationals. As the recipient of over 17 international awards for digital solutions, strategy, research and branding, Doug’s depth of experience is unrivalled.

Bata Innovation Lab MEMBER SINCE 2004

The Alternative Board has given me a great opportunity to voice my business issues in a confidential environment and receive constructive feedback that has helped me in many facets of my business. My greatest surprise is the benefit I get by just listening to the issues/concerns that the other board members have. It has resulted in changes to my business that otherwise would have never happened.

The TAB environment allows me to see many new potential opportunities to grow my business to a new level. Sharing ideas with owners from varied industries has given me a totally new perspective for my business, and you can’t put a dollar figure on that.
