“I like to look for new ways to cut through the clutter and have my clients stand out among their competitors. For instance, I was the first to put my client on the TV scorecard during U of L games—now you see that on all the big networks. It’s all really about finding a creative solution to reach the client’s target audience, while also getting them the most for their money.”

Jennie Jenkins, Media Director

“When clients have big goals and limited budgets you’ve got to find new and unique ways to meet their objectives. With the unlimited media choices available now it’s essential to not only be strategically-driven, but also very creative. I’ve had clients with very targeted demographics, with a national focus but very limited budgets. With some ingenuity, research and industry expertise, I’m able to find the markets with the greatest potential—and it works. One of my clients grew their brand 17% in the first year!”
