Wieden was born in March 1945 and graduated from the University of Oregon in 1967 with a degree in journalism.
He worked in public relations before stepping into copywriting, which launched his advertising career. Wieden worked for Georgia-Pacific, a forest products company, before he was fired. He then became a freelance writer before joining the advertising agency McCann-Erickson, which did marketing for Georgia-Pacific. He went into advertising following his father’s footsteps who also worked in the advertising business.
He then met his late business partner David Kennedy at McCann, and they also moved to the William Cain agency, where one of their clients included the startup, Nike. Wieden famously coined the Nike tagline "Just Do It." in 1988. "Wieden+Kennedy’s growth and success is proof of Dan’s vision—an independent, creatively led agency, founded to be different from the rest, making meaningful work for its clients," that agency said in a statement to FOX Television Stations. "A writer at heart, Wieden’s intention was never to create a huge advertising agency but rather to provide a place where people could do the best work of their lives.
Wieden was known for his philanthropy and received many awards. His family founded Caldera Arts, an arts and environmental summer camp in Central Oregon. He is survived by his wife Priscilla Bernard Wieden, children, stepchildren and grandchildren. He is predeceased by his first wife Bonnie, who died in 2008.
