Jennifer Sardone-Shiner

For more than two decades, Jennifer Sardone-Shiner has enjoyed success as a statewide marketing and public relations expert in Florida, taking a leadership role in civic and charitable organizations and establishing partnerships with businesses, not-for-profits and media outlets. In 2016, after working with such heavyweights as Fantasma Productions and the nationally lauded Maltz Jupiter Theatre, she struck out on her own with JSS Marketing and Public Relations, with a focus on not-for-profit organizations, arts and culture, small business with a concentration on the entertainment industry to include events, concerts and festivals. Ms. Sardone-Shiner offers a full range of experience in public relations and marketing — branding, negotiating, media buys, digital marketing, plus events marketing and promotions. Being a boutique firm allows her to specialize. That specialization means clients get Ms. Sardone-Shiner’s full attention. She and her team are passionate about helping her clients achieve their goals. Ms. Sardone-Shiner first took center stage in the mid-’90s, directing the marketing team at Fantasma Productions, which promoted arena appearances and concerts by the likes of everyone from former President Bill Clinton to Elton John. That gave her the opportunity to learn marketing on a national scale. Stepping back from Fantasma, she decided to go local, assuming direction of the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s marketing team, and over the course of 13 years, helped a national brand for the regional theatre. She’s formed decades-long relationships with print, television and radio executives and personalities, and has learned the nuances of the current trend toward social media influencers and digital marketing. Much of that success has to do with trust. Ms. Sardone-Shiner always tries to understand a client’s needs, then overdeliver, thanks to the assistance of her team of three associates, who help clients achieve their goals. The boutique firm gets big results for its clients, which include Palm Beach Dramaworks, The Duncan Theatre, Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum and The Armory Art Center.
