STERLING, VA, Nov. 19, 2021–communicate by design x Chief Marketing Officer, Jennifer Ferraro Randolph, celebrates 15 years with the company. After starting as a project coordinator in 2006, Jenn grew to help pioneer the company to become the full-service marketing and branding agency it is today.

“I can’t believe that it has been 15 years; it doesn’t feel like it,” said Jenn. “I’ve enjoyed working at communicate by design-x. There has always been a new opportunity or a new challenge to take on, and I love that.”

Jenn started as a project coordinator in 2006. After a rough first year, she quickly began to ascend the ranks, becoming a Project Manager in 2007, Office Manager in 2009, Director of Operations in 2012, Chief Operating Officer in 2013, and Chief Marketing Officer in 2019. Each change stemmed partly from her ability to automate parts of her job, allowing her to take on new responsibilities, and partly from her ability to quickly learn new skill sets and adapt to whatever needs arose within the company.

Her background in operations and process engineering serves as a unique lens for how she takes on marketing and design projects. She can understand the larger context that individual projects exist within in the real world, and she is able to view a problem from multiple viewpoints.

In her 15 years with communicate by design x, Jenn’s work has been part of the driving force in the shift from design agency to full-service marketing and branding agency. One of the earliest marketing and branding projects she worked on was a rebrand and reorganization of the company’s mailshop department in the early 2000s, which helped pivot its future toward what it is today. She formalized those marketing skills in 2017 by earning a Marketing Certificate from Cornell. She also has a BA focused on Graphic Design from the University of Maryland, a certificate in Sociology focused on Gender Studies from the University of Maryland, a certificate in Digital Marketing from Sessions. She is ON24 Virtual Meeting certified, Mailchimp Certified, and a Yext SEO Pioneer Hitchhiker.

“I’ve been lucky to have to many mentors with different areas of expertise—Elaina Evans a past Creative Director, Richard Galik the founder”—and an incredible team to work with,” say Jenn.

Jenn is a multi-year nominee of the Loudoun County 40 Under 40 award, has served on the board for Virginia Women’s Business Conference, and is among the few to earn a C suite title under the age of 30.

Congratulations to Jenn for 15 years with Communicate By Design X. We look forward to many more years with you on the team.
