JILLIAN SANDERS Bio

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 a Victoria’s Secret supermodel and famed author of the Goosebumps children’s series, R.L. Stine. These positions lead to several years as a theatrical talent agent at Don Buchwald & Associates, followed by my first job as a publicist at Hachette Book Group.

At Hachette, I helped manage national campaigns for multiple cookbook authors from The Food Network, as well as Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook It’s All Good.

From Hachette, I was hired by Random House, where I managed PR for health and wellness titles under the Crown imprint. I then began my career at Hearst Magazines as Senior Manager of Public Relations, overseeing 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 across the country while organizing partnership events to strengthen B2C awareness.
