Jo-Anne Estés Ebensteiner Email and Phone Number

Born on East Coast, grew up in the Midwest, living on the West Coast.I started my career in marketing communications, moved into the advertising agency space as a copywriter, then into creative leadership as a creative leader and executive creative director, eventually being coached into moving brand-side as Chief Brand Officer for a DTC apparel company. Most recently moved back to agency life as President/COO of a national branding firm. From business building ideas and campaign development for Fortune 100 clients to helping position and brand several start-ups, I've thrive on simplifying the complex, making it human and real. I'm known as collaborative, can-do, optimistic, and always willing to go bold. I also have a particular soft spot for entrepreneurs, dreamers, do-gooders, and businesses on a mission to make a positive social impact. I've taught Creative Strategy in an MBA program, mentored and nurtured up-and-comers in the next generation of creators, and managed teams as intimate as 4 and as large globally as 300. I believe people can do just about anything when given the chance, supported, and encouraged. I also put more stock in human intelligence and believe that brave brands don't talk to people like they're kindergartners.
