Welcome! I’ve had a prolific career as a producer for advertising and documentaries. 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. I worked as a hands on creative partner at Bozell/LA, GSD&M/Austin, JWT/Detroit among many agencies producing award winning campaigns for iconic brands including American Express, Ford, Seagrams, Hardees, L’Oreal and Taco Bell. Mcgarrybowen hired me to produce their first Verizon campaign that launched their agency. Later I produced Verizon campaigns in Rome and Buenos Aires. 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, in Vancouver, London, Paris and the Masai Mara. I mentored film students at the Cannes Film Festival and was mentored by John Carpenter during production of Escape from LA. It’s been a ride….

Most recently, I co-produced the documentary, Return to Hardwick, an award winning film and incredible story detailing the achievements of the legendary 93rd Bomb Group during WWII.

A few words from my colleagues:

"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. You want a tough, take-no-prisoners producer with a heart of gold that's got your back and the scruff of your neck.” Nobbie Kim-TBWA\Chiat\Day, Rauxa Creative Director

“She’s an alchemist who brings together ideas, sights, sounds, people and technology and turns them into something akin to magic. Her humanity, professionalism and range makes living in a production a wonderful experience”.” Kevin Teevens- JWT Creative Director

“Rare is the producer who can improve an idea at its very core" Mark Webb-Ogilvy Creative Director

“Nancy is to producing what special ops are to the military. She has crazy skills, connections, experience and never stops thinking about how to make the work better.” Mark Toft-Monigle/Denver Creative Director

“She effortlessly handles demanding situations - a truly creative producer.” Jon Parkinson-JWT/GSW Creative Director

“Always found incredible directors before the rest of the world did. One of the top producers in the field.”Tom Kohn-Ogilvy/Prof American University 

“The eyes and ears who brings us all together…delivering tremendous results for our team and client.”Adam Sunderland-Ogilvy/JWT Account Dir

“The most creative producer I’ve ever worked with. Nancy works her magic, brilliantly.” Lynn Crosswaite-Bozell/DDB Creative Director
