backspace media

The best marketing happens in community.

We help events and personal brands market the moments that matter — through event content, podcast coaching, and personal branding strategy built on a decade of real relationships.

Our approach

Backspace Media started in 2016 as a way to help Wichita businesses grow through social media and community. A decade later, that same belief — that marketing works better when it's built on real relationships — is still at the core of everything we do. Whether it's an event, a podcast, or your personal brand, we help you market the moments that matter.

You bring the story. I'll help you tell it.

Backspace Media is built on real relationships, not one-size-fits-all playbooks. Every project starts with understanding what makes your brand or event worth talking about.

 

In-person and remote options

We are proudly located in Wichita, Kansas. Can’t meet in person? No worries – we’ve got you covered with Google Meet.

Marketing nerd. Community obsessed.

I'm Jen Cole — founder of Backspace Media, co-host of the Making a Marketer podcast as well as So THIS Happened Podcast, and a firm believer that the best brands are built by people who actually show up. When I'm not helping clients tell their story, you'll find me recording, connecting, or cheering on Wichita's next big thing.

When I'm not helping you tell your story, I'm probably telling one myself.

Between co-hosting Making a Marketer (10 years strong), hosting So THIS Happened for the Wichita community, and volunteering with Digital Wichita and Ballet Wichita, storytelling and showing up are basically my whole personality. Lucky for you, that's exactly what Backspace Media is built on.

From the outset, she demonstrated professionalism, initiative, and a clear  understanding of the campaign vision.
