Hi, I’m Jenn Martonic.
I am currently living in my happy place and hometown of San Diego, CA, after a 9-year stint in NYC. The sunshine and the ocean recharge me, and anytime I can get out for a hike, kayak, or beach trip I’m down. Plus the sunsets. I will never get tired of the sunsets.
I’m currently a Freelance CD from an Art Director background, and am available for new projects. I started working in advertising all the way back in 2006. I feel right at home throughout all the stages of the creative process: Concepting great ideas, leading a team, presenting to clients, directing shoots, and getting executional.
Over my career I’ve been lucky enough to work at a variety of agencies (big and small) on a wide range of clients doing a little bit of everything: TV, digital, social campaigns, launch events, experiential campaigns, healthcare, websites, branding, online videos, and pitches. Most recently with a focus on social media.
In my spare time you can find me out and about with or training my dog Nikki (currently working on scent training, and she’s killing it), binging the latest TV show (just finished Cape Fear - SO GOOD), or working out at F45 (gotta get those gains!).
