About Deborah McCauley-Ellis
I am a seasoned Business Affairs Professional with extensive experience working with union contracts, including SAG-AFTRA, AFofM, ACTRA & UDA, including leading Celebrity Negotiations and Contract Development. As a Team Leader, I oversaw 4 Sr Business Affairs Mgrs and 2 Traffic Teams for global automotive brands and worked closely with agency Finance and Legal teams. I have built relationships with major Music Composers, Major Labels & Publishers and Talent Agents and am known to be a fair negotiator while crafting contracts that capture the needs of my clients. My reputation for building trusting relationships with Internal Teams, Clients and Vendors has provided reassurance in the often hectic world of advertising production.
