Bio
Nichole Jones
I accepted a position with Kent Corporation for many reasons, but the primary one being that I wanted to come work for Jean - a female marketing leader that was clearly respected by others in the company and their partners. In my time on her team, I felt supported and encouraged every day. I learned so much about managing people, communicating, and keeping projects moving despite uncertainty or challenges. She also made work a lot of fun! If you ever have the opportunity to work with Jean, do it!

You only get a few chances to work with marketing unicorns during your career. Jean is one of them. My creative agency has worked under Jean for more than a decade, and in this time, she’s proven again and again that she possesses a rare combination of deep pet industry knowledge and creative vision. Jean empowers our team with an intimate understanding of what works while also advocating for the big ideas that have transformed her brand—and the category itself. Her ideas and passion are referenced repeatedly in the industry research that details what successful pet brands are doing to drive brand growth. My team uses Jean as an example of how client-side leaders can get the most of their agency: by challenging them with a smile on her face and the brand’s greater good in her heart. There are brand managers that manage and those that lead. The meteoric rise of World’s Best Cat Litter is all you need to look at to understand which category Jean falls into.
