Paula Green (born September 18, 1927) is an American advertising executive, best known for writing the lyrics to the "Look for the Union Label" song for ILGWU and the Avis motto, "We Try Harder".[1][2][3] Green was one of the pioneers of women in advertising.[4]
Green started her career with the Doyle Dane Bernbach agency[2] under Phyllis Robinson,[5] and started her own firm, Paula Green Advertising, which had clients such as Goya, for whom it devised the slogan "Goya Oh Boy-a."[6] An early breast cancer awareness ad campaign devised by Green for the American Cancer Society is credited with saving dozens of lives.[7]
