With over 28 years of professional experience, Jane Bruce is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, marketing and sales success story. After graduating Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree, Jane started her career as a Territory Manager for Rural Gravure Inc, working with newspapers and radio stations across the country, in developing new revenue streams. Utilizing a hands-on approach, Jane accompanied hundreds of media reps on sales calls, in markets large and small throughout North America, presenting innovative marketing programs to local advertisers, and closing millions of dollars of new business – a technique that followed her throughout her career.

Jane later worked in the not-for-profit sector as a Director of Financial Development and later as an Executive Director for March of Dimes, setting new standards in raising millions of dollars and supervising hundreds of volunteers including high profile boards. During this time, she earned a reputation as an accomplished public speaker and trainer, providing workshops, seminars and motivational messages to institutions across the U.S.

Jane later was recruited by Cox Media where she spent many years, starting off as a "street fighter," working her way up to a senior management. Cox tapped Jane to develop their Interactive Marketing program for Tampa Bay region. While in that capacity, she closely worked and mentored their traditional media senior management on effective techniques in offering multimedia solutions to local advertisers. Jane conducted sales meetings, training workshops, and assisted sales reps in presenting advertisers new solutions, resulting in significant new revenue for Cox Media.

Jane posseses a strong passion for multimedia concepts, as well as a deep understanding of the unlimited revenue capability of "convergence," plus, she has a natural talent to WOO (win others over). On a personal note, her tireless work ethic is a product of "Midwestern upbringing." Her "take no prisoners" tenacity comes from a decade of living in New York. And, her laid-back style in dealing with others is courtesy of her permanent home in sunny Tampa, Florida USA, where Jane currently resides.
