Dennis Jenders is a strategist and partnership architect at GMR Marketing, an educator and mentor, and a proud lifelong resident of Milwaukee. Blue-collar city, blue-collar habits. He’s convinced the good work comes from being present, following your curiosity, and sweating the details that make the difference.

He’s proudly worked with and for Fortune 100 brands – Comcast, Walmart, Target, Ford, Uber, and the NFL – on cultural and experiential strategy.

Marquette came before all of it. He left before earning his degree, chasing the work rather than the credential, but they brought him back for the better part of a decade to teach the emerging forces reshaping marketing.

He’s spent his career oriented toward what’s next, and contributes that thinking back to the industry. Having searched a long time for mentors of his own, he now works to pass the best of what he found to whoever’s coming up behind him.

His photography is adventure made permanent. National parks, foreign streets, wherever the curiosity leads, shot on Fujifilm for its color and its craft. He works in two directions: the natural world landscapes in his landscapes, and the human one in his street and editorial frames.

Baseball is the love that runs deepest, as much for the strategy beneath the game as the game itself. He’s a Brewers fan, his summers long narrated by Bob Uecker, and that devotion has become a pilgrimage to see every ballpark in the country, oldest to newest.
