Elected Managing Partner in early 2009, Deidre is responsible for executing the annual business objectives set by the agency's Board of Directors. She ensures the day to day quality of our products, our client servicing, our staff morale and works hand in hand with CFO/COO Maria Marcotte. And she leads the equity partner team that is our next generation of management and our top talent.
Starting as Marcie Brogan's administrator in 1992, Deidre showed a great big appetite for learning our business. After conquering client service, she led our media team, then the PR practice and next the interactive team. Most recently she has created a website addressing the top five health concerns of African-American women.
Deidre's leadership and innovative spirit earned her a Partner designation in 1998. And her character-principled, responsive, stable, and fearless-put her on the Managing Partner track.
Knowing that work is not everything Deidre and her husband Bill successfully and actively parent their two children. Daughter Katie is seldom without her mom's cheers at soccer games.
Deidre has always made time for our community too: She managed our externship program with a Detroit Public School; she volunteers at a women's shelter; she co-led the Detroit Image Team under Mayor Archer; she is active in local, state and national political campaigns; she serves on the Sphinx board and on the executive committee of ArtServe.
In her severely limited free time, she dreams about traveling
and practices Tae-Bo.
