Kristin Jensen - Thryv -Digital Marketing Specialist & Brand Storyteller
The backbone of America is small business—and that’s exactly where my passion lives.
As a former small business owner, I understand firsthand how rewarding (and overwhelming) it can be to wear every hat. Looking back, I wish I had someone to help guide decisions, simplify marketing, and bring structure to the chaos. That experience is what led me to Thryv—to become the advisor I once needed.
Today, I partner with small and midsize businesses across New Hampshire and Maine to simplify the way they operate, strengthen their visibility, and connect with more of the right customers. My focus is helping business owners build systems that support long-term growth—practical tools, smarter workflows, and strategies that actually make day-to-day business easier.
I believe growth should feel sustainable, not overwhelming. When marketing, communication, and operations work together, business owners gain back time, clarity, and confidence in their next step.
I live in a small New Hampshire town where local businesses still shape the community, and I’m proud to support the people behind them. Nothing motivates me more than helping someone move from “figuring it out” to “we’ve got this”—so they can focus on doing what they love and building a life around it.
My journey started in the heart of small business. My husband and I owned and operated The Original Smokey Goodness Bar & Grill, where I wore every hat and experienced firsthand the pressure, pride, and unpredictability that come with building something from the ground up. That experience shaped how I see business owners today—driven, resourceful, and often carrying more than people realize.
After years in consultative sales and relationship-driven roles, a layoff from a position I loved became a turning point. It pushed me to find work that aligned with both my skills and my passion for supporting small business.
That’s what led me to Thryv. The mission felt personal. Today, I work alongside business owners to simplify how they operate, strengthen visibility, and build systems that support sustainable growth. I’ve been in their shoes—and now I get to help them navigate the path forward with more clarity and support.
