SEASONED TEAM Debbie | John | Femke
Debbie Pantenburg
Driven. Respected. Humorous.
For Debbie, life in the advertising business has revolved around one thing: Results for clients, day in and day out. Because until she joined BNBranding, Debbie had spent 25-years in the newspaper business.
She started with the Gannett organization, spent several years at USA Today, and rose through the management ranks. In her latest position, as Director of Advertising Sales and Production for Western Communications, she made sure that Bend’s only daily newspaper hit the streets every single morning. On time and full of ads.
Besides managing a team of over 60 people in Bend and giving attention to salespeople at four different newspapers, she ultimately answered to the paper’s biggest advertisers who expected nothing less than exceptional service and great results.
At BN Branding the pace is decidedly more relaxed. With a lighter managerial load Debbie’s free to focus on the marketing objectives of her clients. She helps set strategic direction, designs market research and keeps a vigilant eye on timelines and budgets. She plans media schedules, coordinates campaigns and tracks ROI. Few marketing people have her unique business insight and savvy grasp of the bigger issues. And even fewer advertising people.
