Jenny Brooks Stang – Owner & President
As owner and president of Brooks Advertising, Jenny oversees all aspects of the business, including media planning and placement, as well as creative collaboration for multiple genres of clients nationwide. With almost two decades of creative and marketing experience, she has cultivated excellent relationships with an array of advertising outlets across the country including, but not limited to, radio, television, outdoor, online, print and social media. Her relationships and experience ensure the most precise media plans with the least amount of waste.A little somethin’ extra about the “Top Cat”:Jenny Brooks Stang moved to Arizona in the early 90’s from New Jersey to attend Arizona State University. After majoring in Architectural Design for four years, she decided to change her focus to business marketing and later merged her design background with her degree in business marketing to pursue a career in advertising. After working in the advertising field for four years, she founded Brooks Advertising, Inc.
In February of 2011, Jenny was asked to be a guest on 93.3 KDKB’s morning show “The Sludge Nation”. Shortly after her appearance (which centered around “relationship advice”), she was offered a permanent position as “co-host” opposite Brian “Sludge” Haddad and the morning show personality, Hippy Dom. After 10 months on the show and a healthy increase in the Arbitron ratings, “Sludge” accepted a position with a radio group in the Philadelphia market. The station decided at that time to suspend the show and Jenny’s radio career was put on the shelf. She loved the opportunity to do something that she had never dreamed of doing and thanks Brian “Sludge” Haddad for seeing a talent in her that she never knew existed!
Jenny’s favorite activities include golfing, snowboarding, working out, running, yoga, traveling and dancing. She currently lives in North East Mesa, AZ and is engaged to be married to the man of her dreams. She is the proud mother of two incredible children, daughter, Sydney and son, Gage. Jenny believes that she leads a truly blessed life and is always open to new opportunities and experiences that can enhance life for herself, her fiancé and her wonderful children.
Karen Knudsen – Partner
I’ve been in the car business since 1997. I am lucky enough to help car dealers grow their businesses and have fun doing it. My only focus is to attract more customers…could be through email marketing, promotions, social media, campaigns for television, radio, print, direct mail, or digital. My awesome team and I put together kick-butt creative and tailored advertising strategies for car dealers all across the country, and we constantly come up with ideas to help them make more money.
In my free time you might find me hiking Camelback mountain, road trippin’ to the beach, singing Bach, or running half marathons on the Great Wall, depending on the day. I live in Gilbert with my two amazing yet “spirited” children, who teach me more than I could ever teach them, and without whom, I would be lost.
