Debra Weekley’s career in Advertising and Marketing started in New York City at Saatchi & Saatchi, blossomed on the opposite coast at Wieden + Kennedy and Nike. After serving as an Account Manager and a key architect of Nike’s “Just Do It” campaign at W+K, Deb ultimately found herself at Nike focusing on Retail Marketing and Talent Acquisition. The switch was due to her adrenaline-junkie need to change her game and satisfy her passion for career/team development. Fresh off of retirement from Nike and armed with a burning desire to share company/team building/change management skills with the Creative, Retail and Entrepreneurial Communities, Deb is now focusing on a consultancy based on select projects that build brands and teams, while bringing her back to her creative roots in companies that create products, movements, campaigns, communities and productive/inspired individuals.
