Debbi credits VMLY&R’s 2020 revenue increase in part to the strong female creative teams she has built. In December, she added two female CCOs to her ranks, each charged with leading one of the agency’s most important and high- profile accounts, the latest in a long list of senior female appointments she has made. As well as being a champion of creativity and a mentor for women across VMLY&R and the industry, Debbi is proud to serve as a founding member of ‘Time’sUp/Advertising’, leading and paving the road for women in her industry. She consistently drives her teams to create advertising that makes a difference, particularly in the crusade for gender equality, and has been recognized by Ad Age as their 2020 Chief Creative Officer of the Year. She has also featured on Business Insider’s 30 Most Creative People in Advertising and Adweek’s Creative 100.
