Dena Thompson


Angry Women Productions 



Dena started her advertising career at Baker Lovick in 1989. After two years as a Traffic Coordinator, she found her true calling as a producer. Dena put in over 11 years at what would eventually become BBDO Canada, gaining a reputation as a creative producer, not just a facilitator. 

It was then that Dena decided to spread her wings again and try another side of the production business. She accepted the position of Executive Producer at NewNew Films. And while the experience proved invaluable, it wasn't long before Dena missed the creative outlet that only an advertising agency could offer. 

So she moved back to the agency side as Head of Broadcast at Leo Burnett. Here, she reinvented the Broadcast Production Department, delivering world-class productions and building a highly respected staff. Of course the responsibilities of heading up a department left little time for Dena to pursue her first love: Production. With that in mind, she launched her own production company, Angry Women Productions Inc. 

Throughout her career, Dena has produced commercials for a huge range of clients, including Bud Light, Cadbury, Honda Canada, Frito Lay, Labatt USA, and VISA.
