OUR TEAM+OUR VOICE

We all work TOGETHER

Learn a little about each of our team members below:

Jana Kelley,

Owner/President & Expert Movie Critic

While most people tend to switch companies a few times throughout the course of their career, Jana has been happy to stay at the same place for over 21 years. Upon graduation from Texas Tech, she started out at The Thomas Agency as a green but eager runner, advancing to all areas of the agency; Assistant AE, Media Buyer, Account Executive, Executive VP and eventually on to Managing Partner. Jana's first account was with Furr's Family Dining and she has been building upon her restaurant experiences ever since. Accounts that Jana has managed include: TGI Friday's, TGI Friday's International, Boston's Restaurant and Sports Bar, Champps, Fox and Hound, CiCi's Pizza and more. Jana purchased The Thomas Agency in 2010 from her former boss, mentor and friend after working with him for 19 years. She is married to Blake, who is also a co-owner and they have two beautiful daughters, Morgan and Madison. The girls (ages 6 and 8) bring additional resources to the agency. They are highly renowned kid's menu and coloring page analysts, as well as taste testers at no additional charge.

Blake Kelley,

Owner & Resident Dare Devil

After 5 years at Texas Tech University, Blake is officially a jack-of-all-trades, master of none; a specialized curriculum only offered to a select few. He has six years of restaurant concept development, wrapping up his time in this field as a regional director. This was followed by over a decade in bankcard processing where he acquired and manages $15 million a year of processing volume. Here at The Thomas Agency, we consider him a priceless asset to our team due to his involvement in our payroll (we are very nice to him), keeping a roof over our heads, and other various behind-the-scenes functions we couldn't get by without! Out of the office you can find him playing golf, practicing his stuntman moves, playing guitar (80's hair metal of course), or hanging out with his awesome wife, formally referred to as his better ¾'s, and his beautiful two daughters.

Denise Seibert,

Creative Director & Doodle Moderator

With a BFA from Louisiana State University, Denise takes the reins as our Creative Director and shows that sometimes a little daydreaming, a pencil drawing and a protein bar can sprout creativity from the most unlikely of places. She is also one of our greatest multi-taskers. She once ran a marathon while reading War & Peace, and saving the world from hunger…all while still answering work emails! Okay, we made that part up. But then again, look what a little daydreaming gets you. With the past 15 years in advertising and design, Denise prides herself on always looking for a fresh and cutting edge for her clients.
