WHAT DRIVES US

Jill Vice – CEO

A message from Jill Vice, CEO:

My passion for marketing and communications was ignited during my time at Morehead State University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Communication, specializing in Advertising and Public Relations, in 2004.

My career in advertising sales began as an Executive Account Manager at WDKY FOX 56, where I gained firsthand experience in the sales industry and the importance of building strong business relationships. That experience fueled my entrepreneurial spirit, leading me to launch my first digital advertising business in 2011. Recognizing a gap in the market for digital advertising exposure, I built and scaled the company over 12 years before successfully selling it at age 41.

Now, I’m embarking on a new journey with a talented team, driven by the same passion for the business world and entrepreneurial success. This time, we’re focused on filling a different gap in the corporate world—offering innovative digital solutions that allow our clients to enhance digital communication within their workspace. It is always exciting to collaborate with like-minded business professionals who share the same vision.

Let’s do what we love. Let’s provide seamless, results-driven solutions for our clients. And most importantly, let’s use our success to make a positive impact on society —while having some fun along the way!
