Jessica L. Levin

President and Chief Connector, Seven Degrees Communications
Edison, New Jersey
Age: 33

Jessica Levin, MBA, CMP, had a client before she had a company. Two years ago, someone needed her help when planning an event, setting the ball in motion. Seven Degrees Communications was born. Levin had previously worked in marketing, event planning and strategies, and was considered an expert in social media and emerging technologies—all services her company now provides. She calls herself an entrepreneur at heart, and cannot imagine working again for someone other than her clients. Levin’s drive helped her become president of the New Jersey Professional Marketers Association, Interactive Education Chair for the Association for Accounting Marketing, member of the social media advisory group for PCMA and co-founder of EventCamp, a nonprofit conference for event professionals focusing on social media and technology. She was named planner of the year by the New Jersey chapter of MPI and is a JASPER Award winner in the special event planning category. —R. Hodges
