“Jen Furmaniak single handedly raised the profile of Maxim in the Hollywood community during my tenure, which naturally raised newsstand dramatically and increased our ad revenue because of the caliber of talent she was able to put on the cover. Beyond that, Jen was a master at complex multi-platform negotiations, booking talent across multiple Maxim portfolios for TV, Film and Radio. A steady presence in a chaotic business, she was the light that steered our ship.”

“When we embarked on the idea for our Rove LA format, we knew it would be ambitious and a big ask for our talent bookers. The JB Talent team tackled it head on and never ceased to amaze me with the names they would reel in like a group of skilled fishermen...who are women. This was all done with a perfect balance of both professionalism and fun. We could not have done this show without them.”
