Head of Public & Media Relations

Since JBC launched in January 2014, we've been hyper-focused on one thing, and one thing only: results. By crafting meaningful narratives and devising dynamic, results-driven strategies, we've developed an innovative roadmap to media relations that ultimately drives growth and scale for our partners. JBC is proud to represent today's most uniquely competitive brands that are upending the evolving consumer market. We build meaningful relationships with our partners on the pillars of transparency and empathy, and with our unique data-driven approach, our efforts speak to consumers, investors and the industry as a whole to secure market share and a defining foothold within our portfolio brands’ respective categories.

JBC is headquartered in both New York City and Los Angeles, but our reach is global. We provide compassionate benefit packages, including comprehensive reproductive-care benefits, four-day summer workweeks, agency-wide monthly mental health days. We view our work through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion — championing the next generation of entrepreneurs, no matter their identity or background.
