Debbie brings over 25 years of media experience to Thompson & Bender as an Integrated Media Planner & Buyer. Over the years, her career has evolved but has always remained rooted in media, including event marketing, consumer research and insights, partnership consulting, and most recently, she was Associate Director of Shopper Marketing Media for Team Unilever Shopper, a WPP agency. While at TUS/WPP, Debbie oversaw the Unilever shopper marketing account specifically for Walmart and club retailers, and worked on Effie-winning programs for Unilever at both Target and Walmart. Past clients include Alcon, Castrol, AARP, Erie Insurance, Vitamin Shoppe, and Pepperidge Farm, to name a few. Debbie also worked closely with Sandra Lee, Food Network host and chef, as a partnership consultant.

Debbie enjoys traveling, reading, and gardening. But most of all, she cherishes quality time with her husband and son—whether it’s inside near the fire or outside at the playground.
