Jess Nelson, Manager of Marketing Communications Programs
Jess manages our marketing activities, including public relations, online marketing, events, thought leadership and other promotional programs. Her nine years of marketing experience in complex organizations has been known to reduce colleague’s blood pressure while identifying realistic solutions. At previous organizations, Jess championed online marketing strategies, including blogging, search engine optimization and social media. Her leadership in public relations helped generate media placements in publications such as BusinessWeek, the Denver Business Journal, and the Wall Street Journal.
Jess loves results…both in and out of the office, which comes from her passion for sports from a young age. She still finds time to play softball, volleyball and basketball. Jess is also an active creative writer and swears someday she’ll find time to write a book.
Jess holds a bachelor’s in public relations from Drake University in Iowa. She recently received a certification in online marketing from the Online Marketing Institute.
