Robert Hēnnie
Founder / CEO
Short Bio
In 1999, Hēnnie began his journey at Fox Sports Net as an assistant floor manager, later transitioning to the role of show film editor, during this time he forged a strong bond with stage manager Paul (Puma) Nelson, absorbing invaluable work ethic. Shadowing Puma on The Jamie Foxx Show further refined Hēnnie's understanding of film production. Inspired by Puma's dedication, Hēnnie ventured into freelancing as an indie filmmaker at UMCA. Recognizing Hēnnie's creative mindset, UMCA’s President, Carl Washington, persuaded him to join the marketing team. In this capacity, he significantly contributed to crafting print ads and promotional videos for esteemed clients such as Ice Cube's "Barbershop" and HBO’s Black History Month campaign.
Motivated by Carl Washington’s vision, Hēnnie then launched Video Sports Resume (VSR), sports marketing that crafted a compelling video that played a pivotal role in facilitating Detroit Lions wide receiver Johnnie Morton's trade to the Kansas City Chiefs and securing a football scholarship to the University of Notre Dame for non-starter Long Beach Poly High School safety Freddie Parish IV. The success of VSR caught the attention of Sports Agent Grey Wichard, who enlisted their services to enhance the NFL draft prospects of his client, USC's Justin Fargas, leading to a notable elevation in Fargas's draft status. Over nearly a decade, Hēnnie's company continued to serve other Protect Management clients, including Terrell Suggs, Jason Tyler, and Deion Sanders, establishing itself as a prominent player in the sports marketing realm.
Later, Hēnnie's apprenticeship under Oscar-nominated cinematographer Jack Green laid the foundation for him to produce and direct the feature-length breast cancer documentary “Hidden Fight” and ultimately leading to the establishment of HENNIEVISION Enterprise in 2016, as CEO, Hēnnie now spearheads the growth and brand development of his company, building upon his wealth of experience in marketing and filmmaking.
