Advertising Agency Veteran
Jerry Schroeder, a 25+ year veteran of the advertising agency, worked with a varierty of clients, including Fortune 500 companies, major sports franchises, auto dealerships, and small businesses. In 2006, he founded enCOMPASS Advertising Agency to pursue his passion of helping others achieve their business goals. He firmly believed that through strategic planning, ongoing research, and careful analysis, he could help businesses build their brand, boost conversions, and generate leads (hint: he was right). After his unexpected passing in 2023, enCOMPASS has continued on as the highly-esteemed marketing agency he worked so hard to create.
A budding tech geek.
In his youth, Jerry was a “huge tech geek” (his words, not ours). His state-of-the-art Atari 400 and rockin’ 800/1200BPS modem helped open his mind to the possibilities of connecting with others through a screen. As he grew, he became determined to find ways to push the envelope of technology.
After graduating college with a marketing degree, Jerry spent twelve years in advertising, working at some of the biggest firms in the business. His continued fascination with technology, coupled with his interests in advertising and psychology, inspired him to leave traditional advertising to pursue the digital alternative. At the time, digital marketing was not mainstream, but he was already experimenting with its profound capabilities.
enCOMPASS Advertising Agency is born.
Jerry believed that his clients deserved an introduction to the possibilities of digital marketing, and in 2006, very few of the larger agencies were presenting those kinds of opportunities. So, after many long and anxious nights, Jerry founded enCOMPASS Advertising Agency.
enCOMPASS Advertising Agency: An incredible legacy remains.
The enCOMPASS team is eternally grateful for Jerry. There’s no doubt that his hard work and dedication has shaped enCOMPASS into the respected marketing agency it is today. While we miss our incredible mentor, we’ll continue to achieve great work that makes a difference for each and every one of our clients—and for our founder, Jerry.
