Jeffri-Lynn found her passion at the age of 15 with her first byline where she realized her love for the written word. She then fell in love with brand strategy and aesthetic design and followed her passion all the way to an MBA. Her career has taken her from the helm of a media and event company to an international marketing position in the South Pacific. When she returned to the States, she settled in the Valley as a brand strategist for a boutique firm before kindling the idea flame that would become Blaze.

What part does Jeffri-Lynn play?

JL works with the Blaze team to build and support strong brands, both externally and internally. She consults with entrepreneurs and executives to help them execute their vision—in both traditional ways and using non-traditional methods—to innovate, spur growth, and build brand loyalty. As the brand and marketing strategist for Blaze Experts, Jeffri is the person you work with first before the rest of the team joins in to execute your strategy.

JL has a passion for helping leaders who value impact as much as income achieve the results they desire. Nonprofits light her up and she loves helping independent, small businesses battle the behemoths for market share.

Rob has been in the marketing biz for over 10 years now. Having worked for both corporate brands and small agencies, he brings operational expertise and a love for design and social media to the table. His passion for his work is what drives him to always go above and beyond for our clients and Blaze’s goal to help small businesses and nonprofit organizations feeds into Rob’s passion to help brands succeed and stand out.

What is Rob’s role?

Rob keeps Blaze projects organized and attempts to keep JL on task. He oversees operations and project management to provide on-time delivery, working with our clients, our designers, and on internal creative pursuits. His creative mind and exacting standards ensure each client’s brand is infused into every piece. He is also instrumental in building out our 360º brand work as his love for interior design, style, music, and fashion come to the fore as we apply branding to physical plant facilities and internal culture.
