You don’t have time to sort through 200 applications from people who’ve never worked in a marketing department. You need candidates who can hit the ground running — and a recruiter who knows the difference between a performance marketer and a brand strategist.
That’s exactly what we do. The Spencer Group works exclusively with marketing, advertising, creative, and digital employers in the KC metro. We know your world because we’ve lived in it for 28 years.
Whether you’re actively searching or just curious about what’s out there, The Spencer Group opens doors that most job boards don’t. We represent creative directors, digital marketers, brand managers, copywriters, account managers, and more.
We work confidentially, we know the KC market inside and out, and we only submit your resume with your permission.
We now offer 1-on-1 career coaching for marketing and creative professionals — from resume and LinkedIn optimization to full job search strategy. Because sometimes the job doesn’t just need to be found. It needs to be won.
01
While other firms juggle accounting hires, IT placements, and admin staffing, we have exactly one specialty: marketing, advertising, creative, and digital talent in Kansas City. That focus means deeper candidate relationships, sharper market knowledge, and faster placements.
02
At a national firm, your search gets handed off. Here, you work directly with Jen Spencer — a 28-year KC recruiting veteran who knows which candidates are great on paper and which ones will change your team’s trajectory. One point of contact. Always.
03
Our best candidates aren’t on LinkedIn applying to your job post. They’re in our network — people we’ve placed before, referred to us by past clients, or stayed in relationship with for years. That’s a competitive advantage you literally cannot buy from a national firm.
04
Jen has served as Events Director for Digital Women Kansas City, spoken at marketing and HR events across the metro, and built relationships with nearly every agency and in-house marketing team in the area. When we make an introduction, both sides already trust us.
From C-suite marketing leadership to specialized digital roles — if it lives in the marketing, advertising, creative, or digital space, it’s in our wheelhouse.
Whether you’re filling an urgent role or planning ahead, 20 minutes with Jen will give you a clear picture of the KC marketing talent market — and what a search actually looks like. No pressure. No pitch. Just expertise.
