Our CEO, Valerie Jennings, didn’t follow a typical career path. She didn’t attend an Ivy League school or have the privilege of elitist connections. JSMM was conceived and developed into the visionary agency it is today through hard work, dedication, commitment, sacrifice and lots of faith.

Time and again, Valerie has proven that the exact path you take in your career doesn’t matter – as long as you approach your work with excitement, a positive attitude and commitment to success. And this year, she saw that dedication acknowledged when she was nominated and WON Marketer of the Year by DMN. Whenever Valerie is asked how she found herself pursuing a career as a CEO of a digital marketing agency, the answer is always the same: she followed her passion!

This month, we are excited to premiere our new video series that focuses on Valerie’s unique perspective on how to keep yourself inspired and passionate about what you do on a day-to-day basis. In this industry, there are a lot of long hours and deadlines, but there are also many opportunities to collaborate with your team and explore specific areas that excite each one of us in new ways. Continuing to grow and evolve helps keep us motivated, and we hope these videos will ignite your passion for what you do as well!

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us with questions and comments; we love hearing from all of you!
