The SEMA Businesswomen's Network (SBN) has named Jennifer Seaburn, account manager at Digital Throttle, as the network's newest #SheIsSEMA spotlight member.
Seaburn was nominated by Digital Throttle Founder and President Bryan Robb. Get to know Seaburn through Robb's interview with SEMA News below.
SEMA News: How has Jennifer contributed to Digital Throttle?
Byran Robb: Jennifer was the second full-time employee at Digital Throttle back in 2010 and has been vital to growing our company. Her customer-centric and calm demeanor has both served our clients and set an example for our entire team. Jennifer's role at the company has evolved from "do everything and anything" to account manager, a role in which she manages all our client relationships.
SN: How has Jennifer shown leadership in the industry or business?
BR: Jennifer leads by example. She is naturally reserved and doesn't seek recognition. In our online advertising industry, we have new technologies and ad choices to learn all the time. We rely on Jennifer to research, test and teach the rest of us how to work with the latest online advertising program.
SN: Tell us a success story that you can share about Jennifer.
BR: We faced a technical problem with a client. Jennifer patiently worked on the issue with a client through several Zoom meetings, evening texts and even weekend conversations. Not only did Jennifer resolve the issue, but the client will now only ever work with Jennifer.
SN: How many years has Jennifer been in the industry?
BR: More than 10 years.
SN: What quality do you admire most about Jennifer and why?
BR: Advertising agencies serve at the whim of clients, who may or may not be having a good day. Jennifer's calm demeanor and proactive energy smooths over both personalities and advertising results.
SN: Why do you think Jennifer is a role model in the industry?
BR: She rarely ever uses the word "I" in a sentence. She works, talks and coaches as a team leader where "we" is at the center of her success.
