Doug Moss, Executive Creative Director

With degrees in Graphic Design and lllustration from Miami University-Ohio and two decades of design experience, it’s not surprising that Doug Moss is one of the region’s most award-winning artists. But his talent to visualize, along with his ability to write and to think strategically, set him apart as one of the region’s top creative directors. His vision to combine exceptional design with creative communication was the beginning of Insight Marketing Design.

Under Doug’s leadership, Insight has become one of the Midwest’s most recognized advertising agencies, winning awards–and clients—on a regional and national level. As Creative Director, he manages a team of outstanding artists and writers, and brings his vision to all work produced at Insight.

Doug’s other passion is illustrating children’s books.  Santa’s Prayer was published in 2009, and his most recent book, Nick and the Shrinking Inner Spaceship was published in 2011.
