Jessica Redman Gets Promoted
Media tours, blog posts, new product introductions, tradeshow support, speaking engagements, book promotions, event marketing, bylined articles, Facebook Pages, press kit materials,…Jessica has done it all. She is a strong writer, a media hound, and a meticulous project manager. That is why she has earned herself a promotion to Senior Account Executive.
Straddling two different departments, Jess has her hand in both public relations and social media marketing — which her clients and fellow teammates benefit from every day. We love that we can count on Jess to get the job done, but also to provide some humor along the way.
Congratulations Jess!!
