about Doing Words

Hi, I’m Alan Jones, and Doing Words is me.

Since 1995, I’ve consulted to early-stage companies and new product development teams, helping with online strategy for communications, product development and marketing.

I draw on hands-on experience founding and co-founding web and mobile startups, as well as senior management experience in larger companies including Yahoo!, News Digital Media and Microsoft.

I’m great at product strategy, community-building, marketing communications, content licensing, and the leadership of product, creative and technical teams.

I work well with geeks and nerds, designers and coders, businesspeople and lawyers, marketers and entrepreneurs. I can even draw an interesting conversation out of an accountant.

What I do best is refine bulky, vague or complex concepts, product information and strategy. I turn it into clear and engaging communication for consumers, employees and other stakeholders.

Get in touch — if you’re interesting, the coffee’s on me.

- Alan
