Harry started Woods Witt Dealy & sons with Gill and Phyllis after 12 years as Creative Director at BBDO NY. He headed up teams that launched Pepsi One, introduced Lay's Stax and Tostitos, and rebranded KFC. Before that, he worked on Absolut Vodka and Evian Spring Water at TBWA. But he got tired of hearing himself talk about how great it would be to start his own thing. So he stopped talking and started his own thing. In 3 short years H,G & P have built WWD&S into one of New York’s premier independent agencies, assembling an impressive list of clients including Powermat Wireless Charging, Hickory Farms, CNBC, Butternuts Beer & Ale, IRO Cycle, Sundance Channel, and Newport NJ.
Phyllis DealyPhyllis began constructing a traditional ad career as an Account Executive at Leo Burnett in Chicago. Thankfully, she spent the next 10 years deconstructing it, producing more than 100 ad, interactive and direct response campaigns in everything but traditional channels. In 1994, she worked with Hewlett-Packard to develop and expand their web presence. In love with the web and its potential, she moved on to iXL to lead strategy and project teams on digital marketing programs for Budget, BMG, Boston Coach, Limited Brands, and Kodak. She spent the last 5 years as an independent consultant developing successful intergrated marketing programs for Chivas, The Glenlivet, Wild Turkey, Jacob Creek Wines, D&B, Hoover, JetBlue, and Grand Central Terminal. Phyllis and her husband Chris have 3 boys to look after. Not including Gill and Harry.
Gill WittGill started woods witt dealy & sons with Harry and Phyllis after 12 years as Creative Director at BBDO NY. He headed up teams that launched Pepsi one, introduced Lay's Stax and Tostitos and rebranded KFC. Before that, he worked on Reebok, Amex, Miller and Kenneth Cole at places like Chiat/Day and K&B. But he dreamed of a place in the sun (even though Gill doesn't tan). A place where a great idea is the boss, free of tubby layers and human speed bumps. A place that embraces the new yet strives for timelessness. A place with lots of really powerful computers loaded up with all the typefaces in the world and bazzillions of photoshop plug-ins. A place that never stops asking the big question. Like why are bios always written in an authoritative 3rd person style?
