In this episode of Inside Jobs, we hear from Jen Perry, former Senior Director of Creative at Constant Contact. Jen broke into advertising at age 12 and signed with a well-known ad agency as an undergrad. Then, after years supporting a broad range of external clients, she joined the ranks of those who took their talents in house. Jen’s doubts about committing to a single brand have since given way to broader business acumen and stronger ties with marketing. Today, the team at Constant Contact provides creative expertise on everything from emails to revamping a major tech brand that helps small businesses thrive.

Today, Hillery leads the marketing and communications arm of Children’s Minnesota. While her day-to-day has changed over time, she’s still a self-professed creative at heart.

In this episode of Inside Jobs, JR Curley’s career proves change is the only constant.
