Destiny Heggins
Project Manager
About
<p>I thrive off creating structure. At 29 years old, I am the youngest person in my role at one of the most notable New York-based agencies, Johannes Leonardo. As Senior Project Manager, I lead all operations and process across the Kraft-Heinz brand, which is also the largest brand within the agency. </p> <p>After graduating from Howard University, I joined a nimble, independent agency to learn more about all the roles within advertising. I've always loved structure, so it made sense when I started to gravitate towards project management. Since becoming a project manager, I've worked on everything from pharmaceutical brands to CPG brands, managing everything from social media assets to complex activations and full 360 campaigns.</p> <p>While I love my job, I often times feel like project management is a thankless department. In my experience, we are some of the hardest working, but many times overlooked. No, we're not creating the ideas, nor are we as client-facing as our account counterparts, but we are integral to the success of all projects. From client briefing to launch, I am there through all of it. I know what needs to happen and when it needs to happen, and my teams rely on my judgement at every step of the project.</p> <p>My hope is to become an operational leader in the industry and showcase the importance of PM's through each agency I join, and beyond. </p>
