MEET WENDI GILBERT
I have top-level management and production skills, ensuring that every project is cared for and executed for highest satisfaction. My work ethic is tireless and exceptional. My clients have said that they not only appreciate my experience and talent, but point to my natural enthusiasm and people skills as invaluable assets.
I attended Northwestern University with a degree in Radio/TV/Film and worked for 20+ years as an Advertising Producer. At age 27 I was named the youngest Vice-President of Ogilvy & Mather Advertising, exhibiting talent and passion for the production business. After meeting my husband in NY Central Park (while he was riding his bike and I was 4-wheel rollerskating) we moved to San Francisco. I continued my advertising career as a free-lance producer for the major San Francisco agencies including Goodby and Partners, Hal Riney, Y&R, Hoffman/Lewis.
My husband, Paul and I, then created Heart At Work Productions, a high-end video production business with clients such as Charles Schwab and Coca-Cola, as well as non-profit organizations like the California State Parks and Yosemite Fund. During the dot.com era, I had the frenzied pleasure to create and build the production department for Tonic360, one of the first digital agencies in the Bay Area.
I had a wonderful 6+ year chapter as the Managing and Marketing Director for the Life Balance Institute and created the digital presence and social media channels for the non-profit, Dharma Wisdom. I was then hired on by Jennifer Siebel Newsom as a line producer for her award-winning documentary: The Mask You Live In, and managed the budget and production for 35 expert interviews. After that, I launched my own project management/production company: 911Wendi, to serve individuals and organizations with their production needs. One of the major highlights of my career has also been developing and implementing kindness projects in the local district K-12 schools which our children attended, which led to the launching of my organization, KindnessEvolution.
