ABOUT SCREAM QUEEN MARKETING
With "The Munsters", "Bewitched" and "The Addams Family" as her must-see shows on television, Jen grew up with a love and appreciation of all things scary! At a very young age, Jen made her own bodies and coffins to decorate the front yard complete with dry ice. She would get started as early as September 1st to be ready by Halloween. Jen began working at her first Halloween event, "Haunted Acres", shortly after graduating from Saint Paul Central High School at the age of 18. She was a part of this event for two years, acting as "Wicked Witch" and was also one of very few that did improv with guests! She even served "Spider Cider" and "Deadly Doughnuts"!
By age 21, Jen had several haunted attractions under her belt and had a Bachelors Degree in marketing. Jen worked full time for WB Television and Hubbard Broadcasting Radio in advertising and promotions. Still working with haunted attractions as just a hobby, Jen begain to realize her talents and insight could be more useful to increase business for her fellow haunters. In the year 2000, Scream Queen Marketing was born, an independent marketing company based out of White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
In 2002, Jen was asked by "Haunted Attraction Magazine" to write an article on the basics of promotions and advertising specifically for haunts. Then, everything took fire. Jen was asked to speak at several haunted attraction and Halloween conventions, as well as organizing media for the first Hauntcon in 2004. Interest in Jen and what she could do for haunted attractions grew to a full-time job.
Jen became devoted to helping the Haunted Attraction industry increase business through education in marketing and promotions. Always staying current and updating with new trends, Jens' Marketing tactics have proven successful in increasing business and large scale media.
Over the years, Scream Queen Marketing has branched out. Jen now works with many horror and nostalgia celebrities to help haunted attractions bring in celebrity guests without the hassle of agencies.
Besides her devotion to the haunted attraction industry, Jen is devoted to animal rights. Working with Saint Francis Animal Rescue out of Forest Lake, Minnesota, Jen's home has become a safe-haven for homeless and abused cats and dogs until they can be adopted.
