Jessica Runyon

Get up and move your feet with us as we head to Detroit Rock City to chat with the queen of the curls, Jessica Runyon, VP of Global Client Marketing with Ticketmaster. Jess takes us through her day-to-day, from working with venues, promoters, sports, and arts groups on client marketing solutions – self serve marketing products, managed services, email marketing, self-serve pixel placements, digital media, and strategies for marketing rollouts. We dig in to great tips for career development, such as being positive, showcasing your authentic and reliable self, building relationships, and tips for working with difficult people. As her mom always told her: “To have friends, one first must show themselves as friendly” and Jess does this in spades. We talk about how positive attitudes can change your life, work environment, and department, and how she has leveraged her love of people into meaningful relationships that have enhanced her career. When Jess isn’t jet setting around the globe or relaxing at home with her husband and dog, she heads back home to ‘ole Kentucky, the place where she was born and raised’ and enjoys important down time to reset and balance an often hectic industry. We all discuss the importance of EVMC, how important partners are to the conference’s success, and tips for new conference attendees wanting to get the most out of their experience. This episode is packed full of great advice, heartfelt quotes from Jess’ parents, and wonderful career tips that you’re sure to appreciate as you chart your own journey.
