1-on-1 Career Coaching —
Kansas City Marketing + Creative Professionals
The Market Is Competitive.
Your Strategy Should Be Too.
The Market Is Competitive.
Your Strategy Should Be Too.
Today’s job market is not the one from five years ago. AI has changed how resumes get screened. The professionals who win aren’t just more qualified — they’re more strategically positioned. The Spencer Group Career Coaching brings something no generic coach can offer: real-time hiring market insight from both sides of the table.
How do you know if this is right for you?
This Coaching Is Built For You If...
- You're a marketing, advertising, creative, or digital professional in — or targeting — the Kansas City market.
- You're applying for roles and not hearing back — and you're not sure why.
- Your resume hasn't been updated in years and you know it needs work.
- Your LinkedIn is either incomplete, generic, or just not generating recruiter interest.
- You have an interview coming up and want to walk in prepared and confident.
- You're making a career pivot and need help positioning your transferable experience.
- You've been out of the job market for a while and the process feels completely different (because it is).
- You want to work with someone who actually knows the KC marketing community — not a generalist coach reading from a playbook.

Kimberly Spencer
What Makes This Different?
Not Just a Coach.
A Recruiter Who Knows What Hiring Managers Actually Want.
There’s no shortage of career coaches. What’s rare is a career coach who also actively recruits for the types of roles you want — in the exact market you’re targeting.
We See Both Sides of Every Hire
Jen and Kimberly Spencer have spent 28 years watching great candidates lose opportunities because of how they presented themselves — not what they had to offer. That perspective is baked into every coaching conversation.
Kansas City-Specific Market Knowledge
We know which KC agencies are growing and which are restructuring. We know what local CMOs prioritize in interviews. A national coaching platform can’t give you that.
Honest. Not Cheerleading.
We’re not here to tell you what you want to hear. We’re here to tell you what a hiring manager or recruiter sees when they look at your resume or sit across from you in an interview. You deserve the truth.
Personalized to You — Not a Template
We don’t hand you a generic “job search checklist” and call it coaching. Every engagement starts with understanding your specific background, goals, and where you’re getting stuck.
