    Everyone (including myself) is excited about the work you're doing. You're showing us that B2B can be sexy, and I have no doubt that will continue to open doors for you.

    SCHERMER is an organization that will exceed your expectations, as it did mine. We had an RFP out that SCHERMER participated in. While they were the incumbent, we brought in 3 additional agencies to the final proposal stage. It was my expectation that these larger, national firms would simply outshine SCHERMER. However, I was wrong. The SCHERMER proposal was not only immensely creative and rooted in fact, but it also best leveraged the strengths of our organization.

    As a B2B marketing agency, SCHERMER understands the complex relationships between a manufacturer, the channel and customers. As we developed campaigns to engage prospects and create pull, SCHERMER ensured that my sales team and distribution partners were supported with compelling content that they could actually use.

Jen Alstead

VP, AGENCY OPERATIONS

What do whip-cracker and whip-smart have in common? That’d be Jen. Prior to SCHERMER, Jen led project management at tech companies and agencies like Fallon and Gage, where she managed large-scale brand and digital initiatives for clients such as BMW, Nikon, Microsoft, 3M and Honeywell. Jen artfully and diligently manages our agency’s personnel, processes and projects, ensuring we consistently run like a well-oiled App.

She’s built brands at companies such as Nabisco, Pillsbury and Land O’ Lakes, as well as at Food and B2B agencies before SCHERMER. Excelling in both creative and analytical thinking, she provides clients with buyer-driven insights and business-building strategies that span GTM, brand, content and digital.
