Doug Chapman

Head of Frost* & Nest

Doug joined Frost* Collective in 2017 as the Head of Digital and Brand for the Nest, and now contributes his expertise and marketing intelligence throughout all touchpoints of frost*collective as a senior leader.

Doug is a driven, insightful and evidence-based marketing professional with a career that spans everything from advertising through to his specialisation in human-centred design and emerging digital technologies. His  primary remit is transforming the Frost*collective team into a world-class Digital Experience practice, informed heavily by the principles of human-centric design.

Among many of Doug’s major accomplishments is the complete renewal of Razorfish Australia from a boutique digital creative shop to a successful and well-respected marketing cloud consultancy during his time as CEO. Additionally in 2015, Doug sat on a global leadership team that was responsible for creating a Global Centre of Excellence in human-centred design (HCD). This CoE was based in Paris and headed up by one of the original founders of the HCD thinking group that ultimately became Nurun. Shortly after the CoE was established, Doug sent the Australian Customer Experience team to Paris for a two-month training residency, whom on their return established a highly successful customer experience (CX) team in Sydney. This team later went on to win major projects from The NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet, Qantas, IAG and the Sydney Opera House.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CULINERY HERITAGE

The Rockpool Dining Group comprises 55 venues and private function spaces as well as a craft brewing company. The project recognised the opportunity to address the disparate nature of Neil Perry’s hospitality empire, and that if the group was to be navigated with clarity it required a cohesive communications approach. Additionally, it was an opportunity to celebrate the group’s restaurants and teams, while collating and organising an extensive archive of recipes, travel stories, industry knowledge and inspiration.

MAKING SENSE OF A COMPLEX BRAND FAMILY

Designed as an online magazine, The Rockpool Files showcases everything you need to know about food and dining experiences under four pillars of content — Recipes, Travel, Rockpool Files and Market Basket. The collaboration brought together Neil’s head chefs, sommeliers, bar tenders and butcher to each share food experiences and expertise. It acts as a window (and link) to the ever-growing and evolving restaurant group by consolidating all of Neil Perry’s content in one place.
