Why Janna Cummins Communications?

After launching my career in corporate marketing and communications, I honored my entrepreneurial spirit by establishing myself as an independent practitioner. I use my experience in business development, “marcom” and brand strategy to service businesses of all sizes through an integrated marketing approach.

Many companies do not need a full-time marketing and communications department, but cannot afford to neglect these critical elements in their business plan. By outsourcing projects to Janna Cummins Communications, you will have direct access to the knowledge and experience you want. You will receive personalized service and a customized strategy, without the hefty overhead of retaining seasoned full-time personnel.

A small business myself, I understand lean operations and can work with budgets that agencies would shy away from – without sacrificing quality. I am well connected to others who are experts in niche elements of integrated marketing, and am able to build teams or provide referrals when appropriate. I’m fluent in virtual relationships, and have tools in place to service both local* and remote clientele.

My academic credentials include a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Texas A&M University and a MBA from The University of Houston. In 2010, I was named as a “40 Under 40” by the Houston Business Journal. Formerly based in Houston, Texas, I owned and operated VestedBrand, LLC; following my move to Maine, I opted to launch my business under my name. I am currently involved in Leadership Portland and am a member of the Maine Public Relations Council. I believe in lifelong learning and am a Professional Certified Marketer (American Marketing Association) and a Certified Digital Marketing Professional (Digital Marketing Institute).
