Where Visionary Founders Step Into Their 8 Figure Future.

A marketing model designed for startup companies.

It's time to get off the rollercoaster — and put your foot on the gas.

Your vision is growing, evolving, flourishing—but your startup is struggling to keep up.

You know in order to scale you need capital, the right people, talent, and minds… but you ain’t gonna find them on Fiverr or Upwork.

You want your brand to be: Powerful. Memorable. Impactful… And to scale and grow quickly.

If you’re over winging it. That investor pressure to move forward. Careering between fear and hope…And you want to build a brand that rock launches your name—and positions you as the must-work-with, visionary you are…

THIS IS WHERE WE MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Founder

Hi! I’m

Jenny Tacka

Fractional CMO, Brand Strategist, and Founder of Brands X Humans… and your partner in unlocking the full potential of your startup.

With 17 years of experience leading marketing teams and collaborating with ambitious startups and growth-driven mid-market companies, I’ve seen why the traditional agency model often falls short for today’s founders.

Startups thrive on a hands-on, agile, and scrappy approach to getting things done—and that’s exactly what I bring to the table.

I believe the strongest driver of growth is human connection. That’s why we focus on people-first, go-to-market strategies designed to resonate with today’s savvy and modern consumers.

I can’t wait to connect!

What people

say about us?

“Brands X Humans helped us express our vision with fervor. It wasn’t just about unlocking our brand’s medieval theme, we also needed to simplify our messaging in a more relatable way to our customers. That’s where BxH comes in… Their expertise and thought provoking creativity solved these pain points and in turn amplified our reach with our target customers. Talk about a VICTORY!”

“As working moms, launching our startup was hectic, but working with your marketing team was a game changer. Thanks to your guidance, we hit $2M in ARR in our first year (even during a pandemic!) and are now expanding. We couldn't have achieved this success without you. Great work!”

“I am beyond impressed by Jenny and her team. They totally understood our vision and exceeded our expectations with their fresh and sexy ideas! As a startup with limited resources, we really appreciated having a fractional marketing team that had years of experience to deliver the results we were looking for.”
