Who We Are

Jennie Smythe

In January of 2008, Jennie started Girlilla Marketing. Jennie began her career in the mid 1990’s working for Elektra Entertainment, Spivak-Sobol Entertainment, Disney's Hollywood Records and more.  In the early 2000's, she jumped ship to YAHOO! Music  as Director of Marketing and Promotion which eventually led her to move to Nashville to work for Warner Brothers Record New Media Department and  Clear Channel’s Senior Director of Content and Marketing. In early 2009, Girlilla Marketing was acquired by Beverly Hills based ROAR, LLC.  Jennie is personally active in organizations such as NARAS, Country Radio Broadcasters, Leadership Music, loves reading, writing and most important, has a huge soft spot for four legged friends who need homes.

Ashley Mixson

Ashley has been with Girlilla Marketing since the very beginning. She moved to Nashville from her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama in the early 2000's to attend school at the prestigious yet expensive Belmont University. After working for free through her college years, Ashley finally found a home with Girlilla. In her spare time Ashley enjoys traveling to new places, enjoying a good sushi roll, and hitting the dog park with her Coonhound Mabel. She believes that most of life's questions can be answered by doing a simple Google search. That said, she rarely leaves home without her MacBook.

Stevie Zea

Stevie was born and raised in Chandler, AZ before migrating to the south to study the music business at the greatest school of all time, Middle Tennessee State University.  After becoming a Blue Raider alumni she kicked around Nashville record label and management offices before finding a home for her marketing talents as a Girlilla.  Between coming up with witty text for social network updates and devising new ways to collect as much fan data as possible she can be found finalizing her fantasy football line up while attempting (and failing) to hide her mysterious mid-western accent. 

Sarah Moore

Sarah is the resident tech geek at Girlilla Marketing, and actually enjoys searching for Photoshop brushes and sorting through HTML code. Sarah hails from Baltimore and graduated from Towson University with a degree in Theatre studies. She has brought her unique background to digital marketing teams in Baltimore, D.C. and NYC. Most importantly, she can beat anyone at Star Wars trivia, and knows every word to DMX's classic "X Gon Give it To You."

Jessie Whitmire

Affectionately called "Lil' Bit" around the office, Jessie is the shortest Girlilla on board. She is originally from a one-horse town in Northwest Pennsylvania and is an alum of Penn State University where she majored in Communication and Media Studies. Prior to joining Girlilla, she interned with CMT's Corporate Communications Department and Essential Broadcast Media. She loves to write and be creative and is very excited to be a part of Team Girlilla.

Bonnie Willard

bonnie@girlillamarketing.com

Bonnie was born and raised near the sunny beaches of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.  She traded sand between her toes for some good, southern livin' when she decided to attend the University of Tennessee to pursue a bachelor's degree in Public Relations. A big fan of all things orange (Rocky Top... not the color), Bonnie worked closely with the athletics department doing marketing for 16 of the university's teams. Before coming to Girlilla Marketing, Bonnie interned at several other entertainment and sports companies, one of which was the Florida Panthers (hence, her love for hockey).  If she's not at work, you can find her with friends and family or her wiener dog, Roo.
