With 12+ years of experience focused on growing brands and companies with creative solutions in the digital space, Joey DiFranco, Director of NEXT Lab at Exhibit Concepts, truly believes a growth mindset paired with experience and the right tools gives him a competitive advantage to help any client or company win.

Starting in the world of digital video production in the early days of social media and video platforms, Joey learned to tell digestible and impactful stories visually on a medium previously inaccessible to smaller budgets. He also helped push the platform (and his clients) in directions that followed the latest trends and technologies.

Expanding his skillset well beyond video to campaign creative direction, demand generation, digital marketing and automation, sales enablement and UX design — Joey still focuses on growth and equally important, the wins.

High Velocity Radio: Emilie Heathe Founder Emily Rudman

00:00 /

EMILIE HEATHE’s founder, Emily H. Rudman, is a Korean adopted at a young age by American parents living in New York. As an Asian-American growing up in the states, she found it challenging to identify with the women photographed in fashion and beauty ad campaigns. She believes that beauty shouldn’t be about looking a certain way and is pleased that this old-school concept of beauty is finally changing.

In her lifetime pursuit of crafting beauty, Ms. Rudman’s work directly reflects her relentless passion to build a platform for candid expression. She first began studying at makeup school and then worked as a makeup artist for MAC Cosmetics. She later worked in product innovation at Avon Beauty and further explored the world of beauty completing her cosmetology program at Arrojo.

While studying for her MBA at Columbia University, Ms. Rudman consulted in product development for Bobbi Brown, and in sales and digital for Briogeo Hair Care. Ms. Rudman developed Emilie Heathe as a way to express her vision of beauty that combines many facets, including sophisticated packaging and ingredients. An exultant expression of creativity from childhood comic books and games to contemporary artist collaboration.
