Mercy EmmanuelProject Manager & AI Builder — live events, TV production and AI-built websites & automations
I make big things happen on time — from award-show stages watched by millions to AI-built websites and automations that run themselves.

Over 10 years in media — still making sure the show goes right.
I'm Mercy Emmanuel — a media operations executive, project manager and producer based in Lagos. I lead operations across broadcast, television production and large live events: Project Manager for The Headies Awards, now in its 18th edition, former General Manager at Smooth Promotions, and Media Coordinator for Runway Jazz 2025. Behind those roles sits over 10 years of media work, from Plus TV Africa and iBrand TV to HipTV and live productions like Tolaram at 75, AY Live, Warri Again and BeninKrukru.
After completing the AttentionFactory AI bootcamp, I brought the same ownership into building. I ship websites and apps, design automations that run without me, and produce content and generative video with AI. The instincts are the same — scope it, build it, make it land. The tools are just faster now.

Skills
How I take something from idea to delivered.
- 01
Listen & scope
I get the real goal, the budget and the immovable date, then write down what success looks like.
- 02
Plan & assign
A run-of-show, a budget, a vendor list and a named owner for every deliverable.
- 03
Build & coordinate
Daily alignment across creative, technical and operations — blockers surfaced before they cost money.
- 04
Execute live
On the day, I run the room: decisions made fast, plan adapted, show delivered.
- 05
Review & improve
Post-event report, coverage round-up and the fixes that make the next one smoother.

On these productions I owned scope, budget, vendor management, run-of-show and live execution — coordinating creative, technical and broadcast teams so shows watched by millions went to air on time.
AI automation build
Lead-capture automation built in n8n: a form submission is validated, enriched, logged and routed to the right inbox without anyone touching it.

What people who've worked with me say.
“Working with Mercy on production and event logistics, I never once worried about the details — she anticipates problems before they happen and just handles it. Watching her pick up AI tools and build WorkPilot with the same intensity told me everything: her ceiling is nowhere in sight.”
“Mercy is the person you want running the room when everything has to go right. She brought that same energy into testing WorkPilot with us — sharp, fast, relentless about getting it right. The sky really is the limit for her.”
The people I now build with.
To be at the forefront of the AI-powered future of work — transforming how people think, create, collaborate, and achieve.
