Hey there! I’m Jillian Sanders.
Denver-based publicist, marketer, and branding expert with more than fifteen years of experience working with the top health + wellness, food, home, and lifestyle brands in the country.
I moved to New York City to attend acting school, but after graduating I quickly realized that my true talent was working behind the camera.
I simultaneously landed jobs as the personal assistant to Victoria’s Secret supermodel Frederique van der Wal and author of the Goosebumps children’s series, R.L. Stine. These positions lead to several years as a junior talent agent at Don Buchwald & Associates, followed by my first job as a publicist at Grand Central Publishing (Hachette).
At Hachette, I helped manage national author press campaigns, including cookbooks from chefs at The Food Network, as well as Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook It’s All Good.
From Hachette, I was hired by Random House, where I worked on PR for health and wellness titles under the Crown imprint. I then began my career at Hearst Magazines as Senior Manager of Public Relations, helping to oversee PR and events for Hearst’s top food and lifestyle magazines, including Food Network Magazine, House Beautiful, Town & Country Magazine, Metropolitan Home, Veranda, and The Pioneer Woman Magazine. From Hearst, I transitioned over to tech PR.
As the Senior Director of PR and Events for Zeel, the country's leading and largest Massage on Demand® wellness app, I made television appearances nationwide while organizing partnership events to strengthen B2C and B2B awareness.
In my spare time, you can find me on a Pilates mat, hosting friends for lunch and dinner, chasing my young nephew around a park, or reading in a coffee shop with an iced coffee (my drug of choice!)
