About
Hi, I'm Jenna Bower, a communications strategist, designer, marketer, and storyteller with nearly a decade of experience helping organizations engage audiences, build community, and drive meaningful action.
My career spans nonprofit communications, sustainability, publishing, and B2B marketing, with expertise in integrated marketing campaigns, brand management, content strategy, graphic design, social media, email marketing, website management, photography, video production, and data-driven communications. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the University at Buffalo and a Master of Fine Arts in Design for Sustainability from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I developed a passion for using design as a tool for positive social and environmental change.
As Senior Community Engagement Coordinator at Cincinnati Animal CARE, Hamilton County's animal shelter, I lead integrated marketing and communications initiatives that support adoption, foster, volunteer, and fundraising programs. My work includes developing multimedia campaigns across digital, print, email, web, and social platforms; managing a WordPress website serving more than 378,000 annual users; producing content for an audience of thousands of supporters; and collaborating with teams across the organization to share impactful stories that inspire lifesaving outcomes. Prior to this role, I worked directly in animal welfare as a Behavior & Training Specialist, advocating for shelter dogs and gaining firsthand experience in behavior, enrichment, and placement efforts.
Before transitioning to animal welfare, I spent more than five years with Green Badger, a construction technology company focused on sustainability and ESG reporting. As Marketing Operations Manager, I developed content marketing strategies, managed CRM and marketing automation systems, executed multi-channel campaigns, and created educational resources that positioned the company as a thought leader in the green building industry. Earlier in my career, I worked in publishing and media with South Magazine, where I combined design, content creation, photography coordination, and social media management to engage regional audiences and support client storytelling.
Beyond my professional work, I am deeply committed to community engagement and environmental stewardship. I co-founded Savannah Trash Warriors, a volunteer-led initiative that organized more than 50 community cleanups, mobilized hundreds of volunteer hours, and removed thousands of pounds of litter from local neighborhoods. I also served on the board of Keep Savannah Beautiful, supporting citywide beautification, litter reduction, and volunteer engagement efforts.
Whether I'm building a brand, launching a campaign, creating visual content, or telling stories that inspire action, I am driven by the belief that thoughtful communication and good design can create stronger communities and lasting impact.
