The founder

Sean Law
Sean Law
Founder

Sean ran digital out of home operations for Vicinity Centres, an ASX listed property group. Scheduling and tracking ads across screens was manual, slow and cut off from every other system. He started Doohly in 2019 to fix it. He wanted to do for outdoor advertising what the iPhone did for photography. Canva acquired the company in March 2026.

Why this founder

Sean was the customer before he was the vendor, running the screens and hating the tooling. That meant knowing which operators would switch, what they would pay, and which missing integration jeopardises a deal.
