Hi, I’m Jenn.
I’ve built agencies, led new business and cross-functional teams, and value critical thinking and innovation over rigid process.
I help companies gain clarity, find direction, and, when needed, undergo a full reboot. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
Just a few of the brands I’ve helped shape along the way.
Allstate, Banana Republic, Beats by Dre, Boots, Chase, Douglas Elliman, Eli Lilly & Co., Elomi, Gilead, HBO, Hard Rock Vegas, Hyatt, Kraft, Lego, Maple Hill, Morton Salt, Old Navy, Pepperidge Farm, Probar, PUMA, Samsung, Sony Music, Territory Foods, Tesaro, TGI Friday’s, Theory, Verizon, Verizon Wireless, Viacom, and Wisp.
In 2023, I launched a weekly series called Brainspo that evolved into an incubator for agency creatives, strategists, and media teams.
We unpacked everything from the authenticity paradox and social mimicry to the psychology of thirst traps, the rise of virtual companions, and the culture of always-on consumption.
Not only did these sessions inspire new ways in, they’ve encouraged thoughtful interrogation and challenged norms. By exploring the ‘why’ behind cultural shifts, we’ve created a space where curiosity leads, ideas deepen, and perspectives expand.
OVERHEARD ON LINKEDIN
Jenn is unique talent. Equally passionate about both product and people. Incredibly hard working, she leads by example, able to energize talent and lead multi-functional teams or when needed, roll up her sleeves, step in and get it done herself. As a partner in transforming the agency I couldn't have asked for more. Jenn's energy and drive were crucial to our success, whether it be stepping into strategy, embracing new operational structures for the agency, building c-suite relationships, leading new business or giving honest and fair feedback to the team she really can do it all, and crucially she does it all with an infectious smile on her face.
Rob Fitzgerald, CEO
If I could use one word to describe Jenn Bader, it would be "impactful".
Jenn's ability to positively affect the people around her is not only a skill, it's a way of being. Her passion for success, gung-ho attitude, and always uplifting spirit is infectious, and results in a consistent outcome: people absolutely love to work with and for her.
Jenn's strengths lie not only in her dedicated work of building a kick-ass agency, but more so that in addition to that hefty task, she expertly knows when, where and how to give people the guidance they need to succeed.
Stephanie Levy, Senior Creative
Jenn has the mind of a passionate and innovative creative strategist that you always want on your side. My favorite brainstorms always include her, as not only does she come up with the best ideas, but she also has an ability to get a room excited, invested and passionate about practically any brand or product. She layers strategic thinking across her creative - making her creative smart. She is always up to date on all social trends, because she is passionate and always playing in the space - making her creative relevant. And she is not afraid to push you into unknown areas - making her creative bold. You need her to lead your team on crazy, creative adventures. Trust.
