Jess Wheeler

As Account Director, Jess Carter provides strategic direction, annual planning, and campaign development for clients such as Newland – Brookfield Properties, Challenge Butter, Nordic Naturals, The J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation, Northwest Nazarene University, Your Health Idaho and American Ostrich Farms.

Jess joined Drake Cooper in 2015, from Crocs, Inc in Boulder, Colorado, where she drove global marketing programs and oversaw their brand identity in over 90 countries. She gained diverse marketing expertise while at Crocs, spanning from retail visual merchandising, email, limited edition programs, flagship store openings, and customer experience solutions. Before that, she was in New York City with Spero Media as an Account Manager overseeing projects with The New York Mets, the WWE, the US Open, and the NBA Store. Jess earned her Bachelor in Communications at Denison University in Granville, Ohio.

Jess is solar powered and loves to enjoy her time downhill skiing, on the lake in McCall, hiking and biking around Idaho—or with a refreshment on any patio. Jess and her husband Jon have recently welcomed their new baby Louie into the world and are passionate about taking him on all their adventures—even if it requires baby headphones to experience live music.
