Meet Jared Pakele
I’m a creative marketing professional with 10+ years of experience in brand storytelling, digital strategy, and event marketing. My career has taken me from building hospitality brands in Colorado to leading experiential campaigns with Angel’s Envy that grew sales and strengthened market presence.
At the heart of my work is a simple goal: connect stories to strategy and people to brands. I’ve seen firsthand how thoughtful marketing can build community, spark engagement, and deliver measurable growth.
Now based in Georgia, I’m seeking remote or hybrid opportunities in digital marketing, brand strategy, and content creation. I thrive on collaborative teams that value creativity, authenticity, and results.
I am excited to bring that energy to my next role!

References & Recommendations
"Jared's keen insight, strategic thinking, and partnership navigation contributed to a 60 % increase of Angel's Envy business within his target accounts and while this alone is enough to sing his praises, it was his streamlined communication skills, his ownership of the full roadmap in the off-premise, and his quick and expedient identification of road blocks and bottle necks that continued to capture gaps, opportunities, and verticals to leverage. He is well adept at navigating new territories, building instant community, and has the capability to make a friend immediately, and brings passion, empathy, and all the laughs. A true champion of culture, I cannot recommend Jared enough!"
Ashley Erwin, Author & Brand Educator for Angel’s Envy
"Jared was always professional, welcoming, and generally a pleasure to work and do business with. He would arrange for bar specials relating to our show, was accommodating to show guests, and provided an amazing atmosphere to create our program in. 100% a professional in every aspect we collaborated in."
Nick Sclafani, VP of Sales for Fat Nugs Magazine
"I had the pleasure of working with Jared Pakele for over a year during his time with Angel’s Envy, and I can honestly say he’s one of the most dependable and genuinely positive people I’ve worked alongside.
Jared brings such great energy to everything he does. He’s hardworking, organized, and always on top of every detail — from flawless follow-up to timely recaps and communication. In an industry where things move fast and follow-through can make or break opportunities, Jared’s consistency and reliability really stand out. You never have to chase him down for anything — he’s already two steps ahead, with everything handled.
He’s also the kind of teammate everyone enjoys working with. Always willing to help, quick to jump in where needed, and just a great presence to have on the team. He’s a strong ambassador for any brand he represents — professional, passionate, and authentic in how he connects with accounts. What makes him even more valuable is that he doesn’t just build relationships, he can sell. Jared understands how to move product while keeping the brand’s integrity and image front and center, which is a rare and powerful balance.
Overall, Jared is someone you can count on. He is loyal, driven, and genuinely good-hearted. He made a lasting impression not only through his results but through how he carries himself and supports everyone around him. I’d recommend him in a heartbeat to any team lucky enough to have him.”
Debi Sipperley, Colorado Market Manager for Bacardi USA
"There are some people who simply make everything better - Jared exemplifies this. Over the years, he has been a key leader on the Angel's Envy advocacy team and a trusted resource in his market. Jared has a rare ability to both command a room and uplift everyone in it. He excels at creating and executing large-scale events, while also holding down the local market with his positive influence, professionalism and charm. Colleagues and partners alike all enjoy working with him, which is a testament to his character and leadership. Jared approaches everything he does with grace, creativity and relentless drive. I have no doubt that he will rise to the top of anything he sets his mind to, and I put my full recommendation behind him.”
Chris Corbin, Angel’s Envy Advocacy Lead for North America
"Jared joined the Bacardi team representing Angel's Envy at the trickiest time of the year - he entered mid-holiday rush with a ton pre-stacked on his plate. He didn't just rise to the occasion, he demonstrated a new standard for what an ambassador can do in the Colorado market.
I vividly remember Jared taking over the workload and eagerly asking what else he can do for the team, not the typical response you get from someone fresh in the field. In the first 3 fast-paced months Jared had produced some of the best results I'd seen in years. He connected with all our top accounts producing wins, was leading brand educations/events and was creating new opportunities that weren't on the wishlist.
Jared carried this level of enthusiasm throughout his career with us and we were so lucky to have him on the team!"
