Willow Duttge

I’m a writer based in New York City, currently managing editorial strategy for digital agency HUGE and a consultant to the marketing team at the Interactive Advertising Bureau. Prior to these roles, I was on the launch team as a staff reporter for Condé Nast Portfolio magazine and its website, Portfolio.com. I’ve also written for Forbes, AOL’s DailyFinance, Advertising Age, Coastal Living, the Hong Kong Bureau of the Associated Press, South Carolina’s Spartanburg Herald-Journal, Newsday, Time Out Chicago, the professional truck driver’s magazine Road King, Sophisticate’s Black Hair Styles and Care Guide, Complete Woman and North Shore magazine. Before jumping into journalism, I wrote TV commercials and other types of ads for brands including Red Lobster, Summer’s Eve and Orville Redenbacher.

As part of the work listed above, I’ve chatted with shareholder activist Carl Icahn about his philanthropic activism; accompanied tens of thousands of people marching through Hong Kong as a protest for democracy and ended up at a late-night sit-in with rebellious legislators; attended the signing of the Central America Free Trade Agreement by President Bush at the White House; was interviewed on CNBC about trends in DVR use; and wrote commercials for Kettle Korn and Sweet’n Buttery popcorn.
