JILLIAN BENBOW
ABOUT
Hello! Â I'm Jillian, I help people grow digital communities.
I'm a dreamer and a creative at heart. Â I love to be outdoors, and love recharging myself in nature. Â I grew up a citizen of the world, moving all around and experiencing different cultures. Â After graduating from the University of Colorado in Boulder I found myself drawn to the ski town life. Â Fast forward a few... okay quite a few... years and I'm still happily living the mountain life with my family.
I've worked in digital community management for a decade, from when it was relatively unheard of to now when it is just mostly unheard of. Â "internet stuff" is how I explain my profession to many people. Â The truth is, the profession is still very much the wild west and in its' infancy. Â I've been lucky enough to be a part of the explosive growth of curated community experiences and I am here to help you build your perfect space. Â In my career I have done everything from launching, scaling, pivoting, and fine-tuning communities large and small.
I am passionate about helping small business owners and organizations for good build meaningful community experiences.
