Jen Boyles:
OWNER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR 💃
The JB in JBD, Jen Boyles is a trusted strategic partner and thought leader in the worlds of social media, brand marketing and content strategy. She's enjoyed two lives as a digital content expert, first as an award-winning journalist (15 years) and second as a marketer (10 years) — both careers serving her well as an entrepreneur. The digital agency was borne of both passion and necessity in 2018 as the changing social media landscape demanded a serious shift and different approach to human-centric marketing. In fact, she believes marketing these days shouldn’t feel like marketing at all.

Naomi Osborn:
SOCIAL STRATEGIST 👩🎤
Put simply, Naomi is a rarity. She came on board in 2018 to help Jen with JBD and has been a necessity ever since. She’s a natural social media brainiac with extensive knowledge of platforms and best practices, her content audits helping a wide spectrum of clients make transformative pivots in short periods of time.
A “slash” expert, Naomi also she enjoys the content production world and often steps in as producer and stylist on shoots.
When she’s not working in social media (also rare), Naomi collects art with her equally talented partner, famed muralist Chuck U, and their big lug of a bulldog, Hogarth.

Stacia Service:
DESIGNER 👾
If designing was a superpower, Stacia is basically Wonder Woman. She’s hard-working and fast, creating smart designs that move and shape brands. Her ethos? Start with a well-developed strategy, because when a brand’s personality and plan are clear, the design comes naturally. Stacia also operates her own design brand, Magenta Creative, with equally talented partners across the Twin Cities.
Outside of work, Stacia lives like a real-life Pinterest board on her rustic farm in Wisconsin, barn and all. Her favorite past times are chilling with her cats and beating everyone at Donkey Kong.

Sam Ungemach:
PHOTOGRAPHER💥
Sam U is a force behind the camera. Not only has he made a name for himself around the country for his stunning photos of famous musicians, he lends his unique perspective (and infectious charm) on lifestyle and product photoshoots for JBD. Sam’s alter ego is a green furry gorilla that stands in as hype man at festivals, so he’s basically a constant reminder to live our best lives.
