Jen Jeavons — Creativity Across Music, Tech, and Branding

After 6 years as a singer and songwriter, Jen Jeavons was forced to reinvent herself. She studied web development and refocused her creativity to launch digital & marketing agency Pixel Palace in 2009. Pixel Palace evolved to become a growth agency, developing marketing strategies for businesses. Jen was a finalist for the 2020 Women in Digital Awards for Digital Experience Leader of the Year and has presented at creative and design events.



In this episode, Jen shared her journey of reinvention and finding her passion after her career as an artiste. She gave us a look into her experience of overworking herself at the start of her business and dealing with anxiety. We also discussed the necessity of knowing when to seek help and needing an integrator to balance the visionary in a business.


As a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry, Jen has found that being empathetic, intuitive, and emotionally intelligent has in fact become her ‘superpower.’ with both her team and their clients. Jen and her heavily female team are on a mission to make Pixel Palace Australia’s most human-focused agency, known equally for our award-winning work and the positive impact they create for their people, clients and communities.

  • Power of networking

  • Figuring out what to do
