Welcome to Burlington 365: My Mission, Our Community

After more than a decade immersed in the ever-evolving landscape of online communities and digital-first businesses, I’ve learned a fundamental truth: genuine connection fuels growth. This truth is the bedrock of Burlington 365, and it’s why I’m so excited to officially welcome you.

I’m Doug, and my journey began over ten years ago, long before Burlington 365 was even a concept. My background is a blend of marketing strategy, intuitive design principles, and comprehensive digital strategy. I've spent countless hours in the trenches, understanding what makes online platforms tick, how to build vibrant communities from the ground up, and—most importantly—how to translate digital presence into tangible success. This isn't just theory for me; it's a decade of hands-on application, refinement, and a relentless pursuit of what truly helps businesses thrive in the digital age.

My passion has always centered on local entrepreneurs. I believe the heart of any thriving city lies in its unique small businesses, the dreamers, and the doers who pour their passion into their craft. Yet, in a world dominated by algorithms and fleeting trends, getting discovered online can feel like an uphill battle. That's where Burlington 365 comes in.
