TAB-Certified Facilitator and Coach TAB York Region

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.

A strong believer in getting to the root of a problem, rather than simply executing on a marketing solution, Doug pushes the envelope to expand and change the way we think about marketing.

Doug got involved as a TAB member over 7 years ago and can speak to the benefits of TAB on a first hand basis! He believes in the TAB business model so much that he decided to become certified and then launch his own TAB Board.

Doug facilitates one TAB Board and provides 1-on-1 coaching sessions as part of his TAB role to help business owners reach their goals. Connect with Doug at dhohener@creativeworksmarketing.ca or doug@tabyorkregion.com to find out how to get involved.

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.
