DGR Communications is owned and operated by David & Ginnie Rowe; a husband and wife team with nearly 30 years combined experience in advertising, marketing and website design agencies. Relocated to Gilbert Arizona from the UK in 2006, we help small businesses and non-profit organizations improve their online communications and develop their brands. We also offer marketing agencies a freelance copywriting resource.
Choose to work with us and you'll deal with a small business with big business experience. We have worked for prestigious brand building agencies like McCann Erickson and Carlson Marketing Group; we have worked on big brands like Guinness, Honda, Hyundai and B&Q (Home Depot) to name just a few. Work with us and we will apply our big brand experience to your business, but without the big agency price tag.
We have clients based in the US and the UK. Our UK copywriting clients benefit from the time zone difference; they brief us at the end of their day and the next morning the job is sat waiting in their inbox. No rush charges or overtime for working through the night for anyone, just a geographical benefit!!
Our Philosophy
Nearly everyone we meet asks why we came to Arizona? 'Do you know how hot it gets in the summer?' is a question we are regularly asked. We came to the US for a better quality of life, to enjoy some sunshine (a rare commodity in England) and to be our own masters! Consequently our approach is professional, yet relaxed. If we think we can help your business, we will; if we don't think we can make a difference then we will tell you up front. No hard feelings! Our aim is to develop relationships that last, and not to just make a quick buck!
We don't make promises we can't keep!

Ginnie Rowe
I was born in Virginia, but raised in Argentina before I moved to the UK at the age of 18. Lucky to have been brought up in a bilingual home, I'm fluent in Spanish and English. I worked in a number of marketing agencies before we moved to Arizona. My last role was an Account Director for Carlson Marketing in Bristol, England.
I have experience in both online and offline marketing, but my specialist knowledge and understanding of Digital Strategy and the role it can play in a brand's development is my strength. My role at Carlson routinely took me to Europe and the US to train others in website content management systems, which was an aspect of the job that I really enjoyed.
I'm President of the Board of Directors for
Singleton Moms, a local non-profit organisation that raises funds for single mothers suffering with cancer in the Phoenix area. I love reading, getting out and about in this beautiful state and spending warm evenings outside, with maybe a glass of wine!

Born and raised in England, I spent my career working for a number of prestigious UK agencies. Before we moved to Arizona in 2006, my last position was Head of Brand Response for McCann Erickson in Bristol, England. My broad marketing experience, combined with a marketing focused Bachelor's Degree (and several vocational qualifications) have helped me develop a great understanding of what makes a brand work.
To support nearly 20 years of copywriting experience, I gained a Diploma from the Institute of Copywriting in 2005. Whether writing recruitment ads, optimized web copy or any form of marketing collateral material, I always try to put myself in the mind of the target audience - 'Who am I?' And 'What would I want this communication piece to say to me?' are two questions I always ask myself at the beginning of a project.
I love sport - mainly watching these days as my knees are suffering from 30 years of playing soccer and rugby. I also enjoy travelling, hiking in the striking Arizona landscape with our rescue German Shepherd dog 'Maverick', and spending some quality time with friends - often with a cold beer in my hand and my feet in the pool!
