Director : Melissa Burkheimer | December 5, 2019
Check out episode 63 of The Design Business Show with Jamie DuBose, The CEO of Zenplicity Now, to get tips on collaborating with other creatives, list-building, and marketing metrics you should know.

Jamie DuBose is the Founder and CEO of ZenplicityNow.com, a digital marketing agency that helps profitable entrepreneurs become more sustainable through marketing, membership and metrics. She helps clients create results-driven relationships with their audience to help them sell a variety of offers, from 1:1 packages to group programs and online memberships.

She knows every business is unique. That’s why her marketing strategies are carefully designed based on the individual business model & revenue goals of her clients instead of following a “one size fits all” approach to digital marketing & sales.

She is also a Navy wife and momma to three kids and 3 dogs all of whom keep her lots of company while she’s building her marketing agency from her home office. When she’s not geeking out over new tech tools and working with clients, you can find her exploring beaches in beautiful San Diego, sampling craft beer & wine, and hanging out with her family.
