LOS ANGELES, USA // As SVP of Creative Advertising at Fox Searchlight Pictures, Heather is responsible for producing AV marketing materials for the entire slate of Fox Searchlight films. Since joining the studio in 2011, she has helped shepherd campaigns for Best Picture winners THE SHAPE OF WATER, BIRDMAN and 12 YEARS A SLAVE, Best Picture nominees THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, THE DESCENDANTS, BROOKLYN, BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD and THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI, as well as indie box office successes GIFTED, THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL and SUPER TROOPERS 2. (Yes, that was a Searchlight movie.)

Prior to her studio tenure, Heather spent a decade on the agency side (staff and freelance) where she contributed to more than 200 campaigns ranging from THE INCREDIBLES and RATATOUILLE, JUNO and LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE to MACGRUBER and PIRANHA 3D.

Her very first Key Art nomination was for “Best Copyline” for FINDING NEMO and was most recently awarded the 2017 Grand Clio / Key Art award for the red-band trailer for THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI.

Heather grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, IL and spends her free time with her husband rooting for Chicago sports teams, traveling, riding motorcycles, playing fantasy football, going wine-tasting and hanging out with their two big, gorgeous, goofy blue pit-bulls, Jasmine and Sarge.
