Jones brings more than a decade of journalism experience to the role. After graduating with a degree in multimedia journalism from Bowling Green State University, she began her career as a sports and entertainment reporter before going on to lead several newsrooms. She played a key role in launching a successful digital-only news site in Wisconsin in 2020, which earned industry accolades for its audience growth and engagement strategies.
“I’m incredibly excited to step into this role and lead our branded content efforts across such a wide range of media partners,” Jones said. “Branded content is one of the most creative and impactful ways media organizations can connect advertisers with audiences. I love helping our clients tell meaningful stories that deliver value for their communities and their businesses. It’s an exciting time to be shaping how branded content evolves, and I’m proud to be part of that work.”
In addition to her work in branded content, Jones also supports a host of other content-related projects for the firm. Earlier this summer, she penned a report for the industry showcasing how editorial teams can use AI for content efficiency.
