WHO WE ARE

History

HOW WE BECAME A COMPANY

JenRus Freelance began in 2008 when Jenny Russell saw that rural communities and small organizations needed marketing support that fit their reality. She built the business in Courtland, Kansas, with the goal of offering clear, practical marketing that works for any size budget.

Over time, the work expanded beyond economic development. Today, we operate as a full marketing agency called JenRus Marketing.

Our rural roots guide how we work. We keep things honest and affordable on what matters.
