Shawna Jones gets the creative juices flowing at GCES like no one else can. When high school friend Clint brought her on board as Marketing Director, she was immediately an asset to the GCES team. Initially, Clint was looking for someone to illustrate their book, “The Story of Carl ‘n Barb,” (available on Amazon). Little did Shawna know that the characters she brought to life would quite literally go on to become the faces of the GCES brand. Now, her artwork can be seen all over the company’s website, on social media, and throughout the office.
Shawna’s two decades of experience in graphic design, marketing, and photography make her an invaluable asset to the team. Her creativity is her driving force, and she is always looking for unique ways of engaging with the GCES audience to keep them in the know. Because transparency is so important, she uses the company’s website and social media platforms to help potential clients get to know the team, even before meeting them in person.
Her approach to marketing is simple: Be honest. “I try to make sure clients and potential clients know what we can do for them. I’ve watched Clint and Galen help so many different clients in so many different ways,” Shawna says. “The whole team here puts so much time, effort, and thought into making sure that clients have a sound retirement strategy.”
Shawna lives in Indiana, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Ben, and their three children: Casey, Benji, and Nolan. The family enjoys outdoor adventures, sea glass hunting, music, and movie nights. Their household also includes two Boston terriers, Lucky and Molly, along with a Russian tortoise named Paxton. In her free time, Shawna expresses her creativity as a fiber artist, crafting beautiful macrame décor.
