New York, July 16, 2020 — Heartbeat is pleased to announce the promotion of Cam Walker to Vice President, Director of Production.
Cam is a 17-year marketing industry veteran who has spent the past 4 years doing exemplary work at Heartbeat, most recently as Director of Production. In her new role as Vice President, Cam will lead her team to deliver the most thoughtfully-planned, efficiently-executed, high-quality deliverables possible, and will find new opportunities to inspire, teach, and proactively improve how we work, bringing even more value to the agency’s Production team.
A project management master, seasoned leader, and skilled mentor, Cam’s innate ability to drive her teams to deliver groundbreaking work has set her apart from her industry peers. She is consistently praised for impeccable execution, and her success on one of the agency’s longest-standing, highest-profile accounts has helped generate 8-figure revenue and continuous business expansion.
Individually, Cam was named a 2020 MM&M Magazine Hall of Femme “Woman to Watch” and has received consistent internal recognition both from Heartbeat and Publicis Health. Cam and her teammates have gone on to achieve multiple industry accolades for their standout work, including W3 and Webby Awards.
“Cam is a teacher, mentor, recruiter, coach, actuary, therapist, influencer, and cheerleader, among many other talents. She really does it all.” says Ana Capellan, VP Group Director, Production & Operations. “When she speaks, people listen intently. This promotion isn’t a surprise to anyone who’s had the pleasure of working with her.”
Her fellow Heartbeaters share the sentiment. “Cam always has the secret sauce to help the entire agency team prioritize, hold together, and deliver,” says another team member. “She proves that unicorns are real.”
About Heartbeat
Heartbeat is a full-service agency for healthcare Challenger Brands. Challengers are playing a high-stakes game—they must battle behemoth market leaders, upend ingrained treatment habits, or transform a “me-too” product into “yes-please.”
The agency is known for serving up distinctive strategies and differentiating approaches, ensuring clients’ market positions are uniquely owned. Heartbeat designs their organization around a 100% integration model, housing media, strategy, med comms, creative, technology, and even point of care/population health under the same roof for the tightest, most integrated campaigns possible. They price work based on outcomes, not outputs. Their innovative model delivers not only alignment, but powerful orchestration, greater efficiency, and maximum impact for every dollar spent—all the necessary elements for Challengers to triumph.
That’s the philosophy, here’s the creds: 250+ employees between NYC & LA; 6 agency leaders decades of tenure; a pile of awards from the likes of the Mannys, MM&M Awards, OMMAs, and Clios; and a President who dared to be quoted as follows, “We celebrate people who stand up and say, ‘You know what? This is dumb.'” Damn straight.
