A CREATIVE LEADER

Jade Golen blends leadership, strategy and creativity to deliver meaningful and memorable results. With nearly 10 years of experience working across corporate, private and state sectors from retail to higher education and freelancing for businesses of varying sizes, Jade has a well-rounded view into the world of marketing and design. Equal parts strategic and creative, she brings a unique and valuable skillset to the table.

For over five years, Jade has worked as a marketing specialist at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, where she serves as creative lead and is responsible for brand management and growing enrollment through admissions marketing. Her past experiences include graphic design and internet marketing for Duluth Pack, the oldest canvas and leather bag making company in the USA and apparel design for the internationally-recognized clothing brand, Maurices.

Operating with a people-first mentality, Jade is passionate about helping others and is committed to making a positive impact through authentic marketing. With an MBA in leadership and change and an emphasis on organization development, she conducted her thesis on the representation of diversity in higher education marketing. Her findings outline recommendations for organizations to build diversity awareness and create fair, diverse and inclusive marketing materials.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, two children and dog. She is a lifelong learner with a love for documentaries, reading, home projects and decor.
