About Jake Anderson

I\'m an executive comms and PR pro with more than a dozen years of experience—spanning business journalism, managing large accounts in the agency world, and today, serving as Senior Director of Communications for a Fortune 50 company.I cut my teeth as a journalist and editor at Twin Cities Business magazine—where I interviewed C-suite leaders and published more than 1,500 online stories, plus dozens of print articles, on a wide array of industries. Next, I spent five years at integrated creative agency Fast Horse, where I helped clients like Heineken, Deluxe Corp, General Mills, Blue Cross and many others tell their fascinating stories, while solving all sorts of business challenges. Then I joined the corporate world as a member of Target\'s Enterprise Communications team. Today, I tackle everything from executive positioning to media relations, and speechwriting to messaging development—and much more in between.
