Leigh Powell

Vice President at Havas Formula

Leigh Powell began her career at Havas Formula right out of college, which meant she only had to move down the hill from the University of San Diego to the company’s San Diego office. In the nearly 10 years since starting as an intern with the agency, she’s made up for that short commute by spending time in the New York and Chicago offices, and took the unique opportunity to spend one month in the Madrid office as a part of “Havas Lofts” – an agency exchange program.

With 10 years’ public relations experience, Leigh has been instrumental in driving program strategy, creative ideation and exceptional client results for both B2B and B2C brands. She has successfully led numerous earned and integrated campaigns with thoughtful strategy and counsel for clients including Shure, JPMorgan Chase, Sound United, Ormco, Suneva Medical and more. Leigh has worked closely with her mentors over the years to build and grow a team that now spans multiple cities and offices. Resourceful, calm under pressure and a problem-solver at heart, Leigh feels most successful when her team succeeds.

When Leigh isn’t mastering the world of PR, you can find her spending time with her golden retriever, Sandy, traveling whenever possible, or following in her husband’s footsteps of becoming a lifelong fan of the Kansas City Chiefs.
