Business Owner

Despite his roots in broadcast journalism, Emmy Award-​winning producer Doug Manning has always looked for the best way to communicate his client’s message no matter what the medium. That is reflected in the company’s evolution from a dynamic video production duo in 1985 into the creative multimedia agency Manning is today. Over the past three decades, he has written, produced and directed for clients around the globe amassing numerous awards including an Emmy, Tellys and an Adobe Site of the Day.

Before founding Manning, Doug worked at CBS News where he covered the presidential campaigns and traveled on assignment throughout the Middle East and Europe. He also produced CBS Morning News with Bill Kurtis and Diane Sawyer and was handpicked to produce, write, and direct a documentary on CBS Chairman and founder William Paley.
