President, Brand Strategist
As team leader, Dean works in all aspects of the business, while concentrating on client service, creative, and media coordination. Areas of expertise include the traditional mediums of radio, television, print, and outdoor. As our senior copywriter and resident storyteller, his brand-centric approach keeps our clients’ stories at the forefront of all of our projects.
Dean got his start in advertising in 1972 on the radio side of the business – first in southwest Iowa and then Des Moines. In 1980 he joined a local advertising agency and in December 1981 he founded Westergaard Advertising from his home in Clive. From the start, Dean’s mission was simple — create effective advertising to help clients meet their goals. In 1992 the agency moved west to Adel and in 2007 the Eastern Iowa office opened in Coralville. As the business grows his principles continue to shape our agency’s culture.
Dean and his wife live just outside of Adel, Iowa. They have two grown children and four grandchildren.
