The Door

The Door, founded in 2008, is a creative relations agency constructed as “an idea house,” with a focus on building important, viable brands through diverse initiatives. In 2018, The Door was acquired by Dolphin (NASDAQ: DLPN), a collective of marketers and culture creators. Headquartered in New York, with offices in Los Angeles and Miami, The Door represents a wide range of clients—including consumer products, restaurants, lifestyle personalities, hospitality brands, events, wine & spirits, and entertainment/media entities. The New York Observer consistently rates The Door as one of the most powerful PR firms of any kind in the United States. Prior to starting The Door, founders Lois Najarian O'Neill headed the media departments of Epic Records and J Records and held roles as Executive Vice President at two venerable PR institutions Susan Blond, Inc and Dan Klores Communications. Charlie Dougiello was the Director of Publicity for Rachael Ray at Kingworld Productions and personal publicist for television personality and culinary superstar Rachael Ray. He also served as Vice President at Dan Klores Communications, Senior Account Executive at The Lippin Group and Spot News Reporter for the Dow Jones Newswires.
