Our primary goal for The Magnificent Mile is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that welcomes people back to downtown Chicago. To create a safer and more enjoyable experience, we must take actionable steps and learn from past experiences. Our efforts are fueled by the legendary Midwestern hospitality, where people offer a helping hand with a heart of gold. In the next five years, I firmly believe that The Magnificent Mile will be a blueprint for other municipalities seeking to build thriving, sustainable communities.

Jablonski & Associates began more than a decade ago by designing, creating, and executing strategic marketing, public relations, events, and communications for clients. By gaining trust and showing impressive results, I helped trailblaze uncharted waters with some incredible people and approached challenges with unconventional solutions. Today, I have the opportunity to share my two decades of corporate experience for clients in search of more strategic branded communications and more dynamic and high-performance cultures. Proud board member for Chicago’s Magnificent Mile Association.

In this newly-created position located in Carmel, Indiana, I led the internal communications team in the development of storytelling, strategy, planning, execution and measurement efforts. The ultimate goal was to positively influence the corporate culture that made up 15 business units due to mergers and acquisitions.

Took a break from my vibrant and rewarding career as I had my first child and moved to a new city for my husband's new role in hospitality. We took a huge leap of faith together. It was a 180-degree change for me to go from corporate life to running a household with a newborn. Years later, we returned home to Chicago where I became a school board member, fundraiser, gala event organizer, Girl Scout Leader, and community volunteer. I made a positive difference wherever my talents were needed and made lifelong relationships. Most of all, I will always relish this time I had with my children during their formative years. I will forever be grateful for this time. Curious why #LinkedIn doesn't have Career Break/Pause as a title. Quite frankly, there aren't enough titles for all the things I did during these years. Grateful to be a mom to two amazing daughters who continue to flourish.

I provided expertise with respect to both internal and external audiences. My role was finding ways for executive leadership to shine, so I introduced and launched an industry-first publication from the ground up -- CCC UpFront. I was the managing editor of the publication and responsible for content, layout and design. I helped introduce the concept of consistency and clarity with respect to product and corporate messaging that continues to be used to date. It was fun playing an integral part of launching from the ground up an employee Intranet -- CCCNN. If your employees don't know what you're doing, how are they to communicate to customers? There is a huge gap that many companies don't recognize. Luckily, I assisted CCC in being mindful of this.Much of my role was utilized in helping with CCCG Quarterly Earnings reports, press releases, executive communication training and providing insight to CCC's overall industry image and community relations. I led the company's involvement with 9/11 contributions, Deloitte & Touche leadership awards, city-wide volunteer programs, community relations and much more. I met with industry editors on a regular basis and had many positive relationships throughout the industry. This was a fine company to work for and I appreciate all the opportunities and experiences I had earned.

As one of the oldest business organizations in Chicago, The Magnificent Mile Association is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the region's architecture and streetscape by marketing the area as a world class shopping and travel destination. I played a significant role with planning and executing The Magnificent Mile Lights Festival, a yearly event attracting a million guests to see Mickey Mouse and friends turn on a million lights on North Michigan Avenue the weekend before Thanksgiving. As part of the events team, I played a significant role planning and executing The Magnificent Mile Crystal Carnival, and Visa card launch. I was responsible for the association's newsletter, press releases and grant writing. This was a great opportunity to work with local, national and international toursim, civic and business leaders.
