Doug Klein is Chief Marketing Officer at Parker Sanpei, a PR and brand communications firm, bringing both passion and science to everything he does. He can be found leading a creative brand workshop one day, and deeply analyzing conversion funnels to optimize client marketing budgets the next. He is also constantly developing innovative ideas and creative content that helps clients break through the noise and dominate their market.

An expert in paid, owned and earned media, he helps customers develop results-driven strategies for search engine optimization, paid search, banner advertising, email marketing, content marketing and thought leadership programs. He has created and managed such programs for over 300 companies with notable clients like Apple, Princess Cruises, Cisco, Las Vegas, California Closets, Disney and many more.

A former Walt Disney Imagineer, Doug spends his spare time mentoring start-up businesses at Cal Poly’s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, helping local businesses and nonprofits through the Small Business Development Center at the Hothouse, and publishing thought-provoking articles on the intersection of business, humanity and the future. When not obsessing over making the world a better place, he loves to cook for friends and explore food and spirits, and hangout with his wife and daughter.
