Looking to join a world-class team delivering exceptional work.

Digital MEDIA, MARKETING & television executive. AUTHENTIC FAN. IDEA HOUND.

 

Greetings.

I'm Jen.

I'm a versatile and high-energy digital media strategist who loves executing fan-driven original programming, win-win partnerships, elegant multiplatform product launches and “make ya look twice” marketing campaigns. I’m perpetually curious about the intersection of consumers, communities, and the brands they interact on the daily, finding a bond through authentic connections, creative storytelling and entrepreneurial thinking.

I love to tinker and tweak, to architect and advance. I’m hyper-focused on improving the world around me, am tenacious about technology, and I don't play on the sidelines. Let's talk!

my passions:

PARTNERSHIPS

A win-win approach to finding complimentary partners around scale, audience and revenue goals will turbo-charge growth, resulting in mutually beneficial success.

editorial & MARKETING

It's a data-driven world. Tangible metrics, customer data and engagement insights are mandatory in acquiring, retaining a loyal audience and marketing a world-class product.

…and at the end of the day - creativity and content is still king.

MULTIPLATFORM

Today's media landscape is chaotic, disruptive and opportunistic. 

From content acquisition to marketing launches, I've owned the user/advertiser/carrier experience and go-to-market strategies for live, authenticated, DTC and VOD consumption.

Here are a few examples of my favorite projects.
