So what, why, & who cares? A framework with Doug Kimball, Digital Science

In this episode, we're joined by Doug Kimball, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Digital Science, who shares his unconventional journey from counseling to product marketing – and the through-line that connects both: clear, human communication. Doug unpacks his go-to framework – "So What? Why? Who Cares?" – and how it keeps messaging sharp and impactful. He reflects on his time at Nielsen, where a rare pivot through sales gave him a 360° view of how products are built and sold, and at Blue Yonder, where he developed competitive strategy from scratch. Now at Digital Science, he's focused on building a cohesive product marketing team and the frameworks to help it thrive. He's also authored a book on messaging and is active on LinkedIn as a mentor and connector.
