OUR BLOG

You could say things are going pretty well here at Alpha Dog – so darn well that we’ve hired two new writers in the last few months! Jasmine Summers comes to us via Cambodia after she spent some time in the Fashion District trenches of Manhattan. Clayton Margerum is a creative vet, having started his advertising journey as an artist, then turning into a writer many long years and darker hairs ago. Together, they’re taking on the role Erin Cramer built over her tenure here; she’s taking a well-deserved sabbatical and returning in 2024 as a copyeditor/proofreader.

We asked Jasmine and Clayton to answer a few questions so our pack could get to know them better (and clearly, we need to go experience their karaoke performances):
