Courtney Jackson is a senior community manager at VMLY&R, managing social engagement and strategy for clients including Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, and Old El Paso. A Long Island native, and Wellesley College alum, Courtney has always aspired to broaden her horizons, seeking out opportunities where she can grow, learn, and lead!

Outside of work, Courtney lends her time to the New York Urban League Young Professionals, serving as their Communications Co-chair, and the Nassau Alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., where she is just coming off a 2-year term as their PR Co-chair. Service leadership has been a common thread in her life since childhood, and she is proud to commit her time and efforts to supporting her community.

Courtney takes pleasure in following food creators on Instagram and TikTok, scouring NYC for new food and entertainment experiences, and playing games of pick-up basketball (a skill she honed from primary school through college). You’ll also find her hosting events under the Between Us moniker, as she is currently developing a home-grown events marketing platform.

Courtney remains motivated to grow and learn by networking with her peers and colleagues in social engagement and community management.
