Jared's BarkJar Team

Dad, Husband, Inbound Marketer, Old Soccer “Has-Been"

Jared Broussard is the founder of BlinkJar Media, a nationally recognized digital marketing agency that he started at his kitchen table and grew into a trusted firm with partnerships that include HubSpot, Duda, CallRail, and AccessiBe. Over the last 14 years, he has built BlinkJar from a single-person operation into a team of ten professionals serving clients across the country.

His leadership and expertise have been featured in published works like Transform Your Nonprofit with Inbound Marketing, and he has spoken on the national stage at HubSpot’s annual INBOUND conference, presenting on Google Ads best practices. Jared speaks regularly at conferences nationwide and has delivered keynote addresses for the Louisiana Hospital Association, Public Relations Association of Louisiana, LSU PSI Sales Symposium, and the 2024 AADEJ National Convention. He is also invited every semester to speak at LSU’s E.J. Ourso College of Business, where he shares insights with marketing classes on the future of the industry. Jared is passionate about helping young marketers understand where marketing is headed and loves inspiring the next generation of leaders.

Before founding BlinkJar, Jared honed his marketing expertise in television advertising, where he witnessed firsthand the growing divide between traditional marketing and the evolving digital landscape. That experience, combined with a deeply personal journey inspired by his son’s congenital heart defect, motivated him to help businesses connect with consumers in more meaningful, digital-first ways. Out of that same experience, he founded Heartwaves, a nonprofit supporting families navigating congenital heart defects.

Jared continues to blend his marketing influence with community impact through campaigns like the Geaux Grizzly fundraiser for Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center.

He holds certifications in inbound marketing, HubSpot marketing and sales, Google Ads, Google Analytics, and AI for marketers. He also completed the Marketing Artificial Intelligence Institute’s “Piloting AI for Marketers” series, positioning himself and BlinkJar at the forefront of industry transformation.

A proud LSU alumnus with a BS in Marketing, Jared’s story is one of vision, adaptability, and growth. His journey reflects a legacy defined by innovation, education, and impact, inspiring both the businesses he serves and the marketers he mentors.
