NANCY ROSE / PRODUCER
Welcome! I’ve had a varied and prolific career as a producer for advertising and more recently, documentary films. I landed a job at Ogilvy/NY in a time of unbridled creativity in the ad biz, preceded by stints at DDB/NY and McCann/NY then followed by a move to Los Angeles where I worked as a hands on creative partner at Bozell/LA, GSD&M/Austin, JWT/Detroit, McGarryBowen/NY and many other ad agencies. I produced award winning campaigns for iconic brands including American Express, Ford, Seagrams, Hardees, L’Oreal and Taco Bell and happily for smaller clients shooting their first spot. I shot with Oscar winning DP’s Gordon Willis in lower Manhattan and Billy Williams for American Express in the Masai Mara. Gordon Bowen asked me to produce the first Verizon campaign to launch his new agency and later I produced Verizon campaigns in Rome, LA and Buenos Aires for Mcgarrybowen. Ogilvy sponsored me into the DGA as a commercials director and Ed Lachman DP’ed my first campaigns. Along the way I produced spots all across the US and regularly in Vancouver, Toronto, London and Paris. I mentored film students at the Cannes Film Festival and been mentored by John Carpenter during production of Escape from LA. It’s been a ride….
Most recently, I was consulting producer for the documentary, Return to Hardwick, an award winning film and incredible story detailing the achievements of the legendary 93rd Bomb Group during WWII.

"Nancy managed to take an assemblage of bumbling broadcast neophytes and mentor, cajole, scold and praise them into a crack team of season professionals cranking out a final product that has the entire agency swelling with pride. I wouldn't have anyone else standing right next to me, making sure I don't fall off that cliff, when we're tackling any broadcast production.
