Jen Devor is a high-energy, dynamic professional who can influence, negotiate, and inspire. With over 15 years of experience cultivating relationships, collaborating with partners, and captivating audiences at the intersection of business, government, and non-profit sectors, she knows how to move the needle, push boundaries, and add value.
As president and co-founder of Better Civics, a nonpartisan civic education organization, I implement the vision, oversee the strategy, and communications and am responsible for development and fundraising.
Our website encapsulates Better Civics' ethos, presenting information in an engaging, accessible manner.
I played a key role in crafting its bold design, compelling messaging, and wrote a significant portion of the content while overseeing the design process.
Better Civics create educational resources to better explain how government works and to encourage individuals to be more civically engaged. We work with community organizations and civic leaders to deliver these resources to their audiences in a trusted and effective manner.
My creative flair extends to our Instagram presence, where I spearheaded the creation of a majority of our captivating content, lending our organization a distinctive voice and visual identity.
It's worth noting that the organization is currently on hiatus as of July 2023.
I am the sole author and designer behind our compelling 2021 annual report.
This meticulously crafted document not only celebrates our accomplishments but also serves as a catalyst, inspiring potential partners to invest in our noble cause.
Throughout my extensive tenure at Campus Philly, a nonprofit economic development organization, I have spearheaded a diverse array of projects that stand as exemplars of my marketing insight and entrepreneurial spirit.
As VP, Partnerships, I oversee our corporate membership program, government relations, consulting practice, marketing program and other revenue streams. I successfully streamline communications across audiences that grows membership and increases investment.
This is Campus Philly’s current Corporate Member Sales Sheet.
I crafted the compelling value proposition statement and strategically devised call-to-action initiatives, while overseeing the design.
The Marketing Catalog stands as a testament to my innovative prowess.
I conceptualized and orchestrated the organization’s marketing program in 2017, recognizing the revenue it would generate. I wrote the Marketing Catalog (2019) and oversaw the design. The program continues to be successful.
The My City Summer Guide (2018) is an example of my multifaceted skills.
Co-created as a pioneering product for our consulting arm, this guide served as a benchmark for advising other organizations on optimal programming strategies.
My fifteen years of experience includes civic leadership and nonprofit management.
These three projects showcase my advocacy approach, brand consistency, creativity and content delivery.
#GoodThingsPhilly streaming television special (2020) was a fundraising event with celebrities like Benj Pasak, John Legend, Amanda Seyfried, Jim Garner and more, celebrating civic engagement and amplifying Better Civics' work.
I led its direction and messaging, and then delegated execution while retaining executive decision-making, resulting in over $100,000 raised.
The #VoteByMailPHL Poster Project (2020) was a collaboration between Better Civics and internationally known art curator StreetsDept, and supported by All Voting is Local.
The project features diverse female artists creating artwork with clear instructions for applying for a mail ballot, which was new to the state. We made the posters available in multiple languages for free download, aiming for neighbors to print and display them in their windows, informing others about the election changes that happened in 2020 during the pandemic.
I regularly leverage op-eds to share opinions, ignite discussions, and promote initiatives.
Over a dozen of my op-eds have been published across various reputable platforms, advancing advocacy issues and causes.
