A veteran producer, network sales manager and advertising executive, Phyllis Green is hailed as an industry pioneer fir bridging the gap between the worlds of retail and TV advertising. Green began her career working at a 250-watt radio station in Trenton, NJ. A year later, she landed a job as “Weekend Weather Girl” at WCKT TV in Miami (now WSVN TV). She climbed the TV career ladder with jobs at Indianapolis and Boston and ultimately became the first woman sales manager at ABC TV’s flagship station in New York City. After a promotion to the ABC TV network, her star rose as she brought major retailers to TV. Misfortune struck when she was suddenly fired by Capital Cities, who acquired the network, changing Phyllis’ life overnight. In 1986, she merged her experience in the worlds of advertising and television by founding Green Advertising. The agency is now one of the most respected agencies in the state of Florida. In 1999, Green Advertising was acquired by Pace Advertising, a WPP company. WPP is the world’s largest marketing and communication services company. Today, Green serves as Chairman of Green Advertising, the parent company of GreenAd.com; Stalder/Green Advertising in Orlando, and VidPop Productions, a video production complex in Boca Raton. She is the author of Fired at Fifty: A Survivor’s Guide to Prosperity.
