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.
a few of my FAVORITe memories and accomplishments… SO FAR
Took your favorite team off of your living room television and onto your phone for the very first time
Held editorial, marketing and BD oversight of Yahoo Sports’ local direct-to-consumer initiative and NBC Sports’ traditional, web, mobile, social and product channels; reaching millions of users with triple-digit growth in 3 years
Recruited the greatest baseball player of all time (no, really) for a launch campaign
4 television network rebrands, 3 seasonal brand campaigns per year, too many product launches to count, 5 complete website redesigns, and 6 app refreshes
Led acquisition, retention and fan loyalty campaigns with a focus on audience development: CRM, SEO/SEM, email marketing, push, cost-per-click / acquisition / impression
Debuted 23 live streaming experiences and awareness campaigns for six 24/7 television networks and sixteen NHL/NBA/MLB teams
Threw out tee-shirts in 2 San Francisco Giants World Championship Parades
Created content for a niche, passionate local audience and advertisers, and built national case studies and press from the results
Oversaw a $15MM operating budget, maintaining a positive OCF with oversight of 71+ rockstar employees
Hired digital ninjas, marketers, producers, and journalists who are much smarter than me
Co-founded NBC Sports Group's first ever Women's Network, and co-lead the Yahoo Sports Women’s network. Because she can, she will, & she does
Won the 2014 NCAA office pool. Thanks, UConn!
As the digital lead for the NBC Sports Regional Networks, a suite of highly rated local cable networks with rights to world-class teams including the Golden State Warriors, Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Flyers, my "job" was to ensure the television networks were also the dominant multichannel destination for passionate sports fans. Here are a few examples of my favorite projects.
In early 2014, I spearheaded a case study with partners from the Warriors and Twitter by directing the audience to engage on Twitter.
Facebook + Talent + Fans = True Love.
I have a total love affair with the SF Giants’ organization.
My first day as a receptionist for Fox Sports Bay Area was August 10, 1998.
...and then, there were 3. Play Ball.
In 2016, the NBC Sports Group reached an agreement with the NHL to secure rights for in-market streaming.
The first ever live streaming product for the NBC Sports Regional Networks featured in-market NBA games.
The ultimate in experiential - a victory walk down Market Street.
In 2013, my pals at Yahoo Sports, NBC Sports HQ and the team at CSN Bay Area launched "Yahoo SportsTalk Live", the first ever socially driven television program.
There is no greater moment than giving away a Big Check.
A key focus of mine while at NBC Sports was to introduce, inform, and excite an audience to watch their favorite teams. Seems like an easy value proposition, no?
San Francisco played host to the 2007 MLB All Star Game, and FSN wanted IN on the action.
Building a mission statement can take years to develop to its' true potential, but we knocked it out of the park with this one.
Comcast SportsNet outgrew itself, and we were given the task to rebrand and launch an entirely new network, Comcast SportsNet California.
I'm not sure if I was flattered or offended by being called a "sports media veteran" at 32-years old, but I'll take it.
Whirlwind. Rollercoaster. Jet engine, spaceship. Love those words.
Proud to represent the NBC RSN’s and dish on all things digital strategy and content creation, while throwing some inadvertent side-eye at Brandon.
