>> Hi. My name is Jenny Engle, and I'm the owner and principal of JKE Marketing
and Communications, a Green Plus certified communications and marketing firm,
and basically that entails everything, from soup to nuts.
I do business development and sales as well as a lot of the marketing
and communications functions, strategic planning and positioning,
and of course I have an emphasis on sustainability and helping all of my clients get
into more sustainable operations as well while I'm working with them.
I've always been very interested in the environment and all things green related,
and when as a member of the Chamber we had the opportunity
to become green plus certified, I went for that.
I was one of the first sole proprietor companies to go through the process
and get the certification, and I've been renewed twice now.
And my office is in my home, so I had to make sure every time we did a renovation
on our home, it was a green renovation.
And it's worked out very well for me, and it's a niche that I think is unusual
and also helps me with my business.
I work with small to mid-sized businesses in the for and nonprofit area, government agencies
as well from time to time, and I specialize in strategic planning and content management.
But I can as a generalist, I can help them with all their communications and marketing needs,
and sometimes I will refer them to other businesses,
or sometimes I'll hire a subcontractor.
