Jake Sturgis, APR

Brought home some hardware last night from the @MAGComms award ceremony in St. Paul. Our big winner was the video we created for @isd719 for staff recruitment. captivatemedia.wistia.com/medias/v8gbtm7…

We take halloween pretty seriously at my office. I can do a pretty good Barney impression and successfully creeped out my team.

I’m in Michigan this week inspiring other video company owners at the Onward Summit by Studio Sherpas. So honored to be able to speak to this group!

Thanks @angelambrown for bringing me on the @Niche_Insights podcast. I've seen transformational change in schools when they start authentically using student voice. niche.com/about/enrollme…

@cateked There are so many issues in education we’ve unsuccessfully tried to solve as adults. Students have insights we don’t have and their voices need to be amplified to help make change.

A2: Loved @_JakeSturgis' presentation on student voice for equity at #NSPRA2022. So many takeaways that had me thinking about ways to add student voice in our staff PD. The videos - their voices - were POWERFUL. #k12prchat

A great weekend in New Ulm celebrating 15 years of 💍. The @SchellsBrewery was impressive.

Great night and even better conversations on the water with @Stan_Alleyne.

@TeamCJCorrea thanks for the autograph tonight!

It’s official. I have a middle schooler.

A business coach said my first hire would be critical as a small business owner. @JennaRoseMead was the only interview I needed, I knew she was the one. Today, as Jenna starts a new adventure, I'm so thankful for the 7+ years we worked together and am excited to watch her grow.

Anyone in #schoolpr looking 🔭 for a new career challenge? I'm seeking someone with school, #sales and #marketing experience to join my team. #nowhiring captivatemedia.us/wp-content/upl…
