BILL COURY
Director, Media Services

In January, Duffey Petrosky lost a dear friend, an inspiring mentor and the heart and soul of our media operation, Bill Coury.

An integral member of the DP+Company leadership group, Bill was a true professional who possessed vast knowledge of the varied media consumption habits of our clients' critical target groups. In his 40-year career on both the agency and sales sides of the business, Bill achieved success at every level. He joined us from Bozell Worldwide, and prior to that worked as a planner and buyer at Campbell-Ewald, Media Supervisor at Kenyon & Eckhardt, Senior Vice President in charge of the entire Midwest for Blair radio and television and Media Director at FCB.

Bill's wealth of experience provided Duffey Petrosky, as a start-up agency, with instant credibility in the media marketplace. A tough negotiator, he always fought for the best interests of his clients while maintaining the respect and admiration of media company leadership both locally and nationally.

Most of all, Bill will be remembered for his humor, his warm heart and the professionalism he brought to the agency every day. We are eternally grateful for our time with him.

Bill earned a B.B.A. degree in Marketing from the University of Detroit and is survived by his wife, Barbara, four children and five grandchildren.
