After spending years working with agencies during his posts at Adelphia and Comcast, Scott founded Havit in 2005 with a mission to provide clients with the caliber of service and ROI he knows firsthand the need and deserve. His ability to listen and relentlessly focus on results has earned him the respect of many clients and business categories.
With in-depth experience managing multi-million-dollar budgets and multiple agency relationships, Scott provides vast strategic communications and operational intelligence. He brings a keen understanding of how entertainment, content and pop culture play in the life of consumers and has a passion for connecting human threads and brand truths in order to find new ways of expression.

As a business and investment strategist, Evan brings an important and valuable perspective to both the agency and our clients. Evan earned his MBA from Georgetown University, worked for 5 years in NYC as an Investment Banker with Morgan Stanley, and expanded his previous company throughout the Mid-Atlantic as its CEO.
Evan’s current mission is twofold – to aid in the business operations of the agency, and to provide a strategic business perspective for our clients. This is a truly unique offering for an agency, and what you’ll learn – and like – about Evan is his ability to quickly apply insights to help clients strengthen their business models and fuel profitable growth. His knowledge of process management and sales/marketing alignment brings an added dimension to Havit’s role as a valued partner.
With over two decades of senior marketing leadership experience, Erin has a proven track record of creating brand loyalty and driving growth. As a former marketing exec within the cable/telecom industry, she led holistic B2C and B2B marketing initiatives – from product, brand and creative development to customer acquisition and retention to integrated multi-screen solutions to help local, regional, and national advertisers thrive.
Category experience includes: Auto, Retail, Education, Finance & Banking, Travel & Tourism and many others. She holds a B.S. in Mass Communication from Towson University, an M.A. in Human Sciences from Hood College, and an Executive Development Program certification from The Wharton School, Univ. of Pennsylvania.

He brings significant experience in customer-centric, multi-channel marketing strategy and implementation and is able to galvanize ideas into results. As a marketing agency leader within Wunderman and WPP, he has worked with many of the world’s leading companies in a hands-on role, including P&G, AT&T, IBM, Time Warner, Pfizer, Dell, Citi, AARP, Audi, Samsung, Microsoft, J&J, Vanguard, Kraft, HP and MetLife.
Shannon Leaf is an accomplished leader with more than two decades of experience in marketing, operations, and strategic partnerships. Shannon oversees Havit’s account management team and brings her strategic guidance and problem-solving mindset to our portfolio of clients. Prior to joining Havit, Shannon held a variety of senior level marketing and operations positions including Chief Operating Officer at Lia Diagnostics, Senior Marketing Director of Home Mobility Solutions at Motorola, Director of Retail at AOL, and Marketing Manager at Discovery Communications.
Shannon holds an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Finance and Management from the University of Florida.
Scott brings a unique balance of brand, direct and data-driven experience to every project – always with a focus on motivating people to take action: call, click, change behaviors, purchase, and sometimes just smile. Scott has produced work and led teams at agencies from Main Street to Madison Avenue. His ability to leverage strategy and insights produces valuable results for his clients – and has also led to awards including National ADDYs, Echos, EFFIEs, and Mercury Awards for Best Overall Marketing Programs to name a few.
Scott is fascinated by anything with a good story behind it. Loves traveling by motorcycle. Isn’t a stranger to tattoo artists. And will want nothing more than to get inside your head and learn what makes you (and your brand) tick. Brand Experience includes: Time Warner Cable, Audi, Land Rover, NASCAR, Amtrak, Virginia Tourism, Music Maker Relief Foundation, Merck Pharmaceuticals, George Washington’s Mount Vernon, Rolling Thunder, CDW, Military One Source (The Pentagon), Route 11 Potato Chips and AARP.

His “Philly’s More Fun When You Sleep Over” campaign is considered one of the most successful city tourism campaigns in the industry. His FedEx ‘Apology’ color bars commercial from Super Bowl XXXII is also in in the permanent collection of the Museum of Radio and TV in New York.
