Introducing Heather
Trying to keep up with the Joneses? Meet our newest hire, Heather Burnikel.
Fresh from donating her hair to the St. Baldrick's Foundation
Before heading to ZJ, Heather was a project leader at mono and an account manager at Carmichael Lynch. You might know her from her award-winning work for furniture company Blu Dot, where she produced the social media experiment The Real Good Experiment.
You can watch it here. Warning: You will want a high-design Manhattan apartment after seeing this.
So, let’s get to know Heather.
Flash questions:
What’s your favorite local dish? Mini donuts and peach ice cream at Stella’s. They don’t always have the ice cream but it’s delicious.
Favorite cocktail? Whiskey and ginger ale.
Favorite local artist? Adam Turman. I like his pin-up style.
Heather is a Green Bay native who studied advertising at The University of Wisconsin – Madison. In her time there, she helped the school win the National Advertising Student Competition with a marketing plan for DaimlerChrysler. Now she lives with her boyfriend in St. Louis Park, although they prefer to come to Minneapolis for play. In her spare time, she puts on her bowling shoes as captain of the local ad league bowling team Thumbstruction. Oh, and she just might be the only tap-dancing motorcyclist out there.
We know what you’re wondering. Does she like the Packers? Indeed she does. “I didn’t go to any Super Bowl parties because I needed to concentrate. We hunkered down and ate bad food.”
Welcome!
