A veteran of the field and office, I’ve got plenty of lessons-learned,
successes, and failures under my belt.

“Michael and Jennifer have been responsible for all press releases and company communication, and serve as my ongoing editing team. There is a reason they have provided communication support for some of the most recognized CEOs in the U.S. – I wouldn’t trade them for the world.” Johnnie Hernandez, entrepreneur and former Fortune 50 executive

Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss have a shared, lifelong passion for storytelling. They have had the good fortune to work for and with companies that span industries and impact, where they have spearheaded global communication strategy and execution for more than 20 years. In 2013, they struck out on their own to form the communications agency ROCKdotVOSS, and to finish their debut novel – “B.S., Incorporated.” The novel has been called “a rich combination of comedy, ingenuity and sass” and was named one of the 10 Best Business Books of 2016 by WealthManagement.com. The book is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks and via RockAndVossBooks.com.

We are storytellers.

Our shared passion for captivating audiences goes back – way back – to when Jennifer published haikus in her first-grade newsletter, and Mike entertained other kids on the school bus with his creative fiction.

Not surprisingly, our jones for storytelling fueled our individual career paths, where we held roles in journalism, advertising, public relations, marketing and corporate communications. Along the way, we had the good fortune to work for and with companies that spanned industries and impact – from privately held start-ups to Fortune 50 powerhouses.

Our paths crossed at Best Buy, where – for more than a decade, we led the Internal Communications function and spearheaded all communications strategy and execution for the company’s 170,000 employees. We counseled and collaborated with senior executives, managed a network of global communication vehicles and events, and developed strategies to ensure the success of complex initiatives such as mergers and acquisitions, international expansion and corporate re-organizations. Somewhere in the midst of it all, we found time to effectively communicate four CEO transitions and build a groundbreaking internal social media program.

Then we struck out on our own, using our combined 40+ years of experience as strategists and communicators to form ROCKdotVOSS – an agency dedicated to helping tell your company’s story.

Because whether you’re looking to boost employee engagement, increase your close rate or entertain the other kids on the bus, it always starts with a great story.

Tim Jones / Colorful Voices

Colorful Voices. Where DORMANT & DOUBTFUL becomes DONE!! Colorful Voices is fully committed to personal and professional development of those seeking an opportunity to succeed.

I’m Timothy M Jones, founder of Colorful Voices. At Colorful Voices, we recognize that the number one issue facing our service personnel whom have been sexually assaulted, is Trust. We have created educational training programming built from the inside out for victims and victim advocates. Our training’s assist victims and advocates in understanding the stigmas associated with sexual assault.
At Colorful Voices, we believe that, where colorful voices lay dormant and doubtful, with hope, healing, and action those voices and dreams become ignited.
As a male survivor of military sexual trauma, Timothy experienced several traumatic events that would impact his life for twenty years. Now thriver, we feel it is important that we take the lessons learned and assist others in understanding that sexual assault is not just a female issue… it is an issue that affects us ALL. Through our programs, we empower healing by restoring trust lost through this traumatic event. Our goal is to reignite the voices of our clients to aide them in their journey.
We are currently seeking speaking and/or training opportunities to engage and assist in helping to end the stigmas associated with military sexual trauma. I look forward to sharing our ideas so that we may further discuss opportunities to collaborate.

Morgan Terry / Pig Naughty Sauces

Pig Naughty Barbecue Sauces is a purveyor of fine barbecue sauces. Barbecue is our birthright and heritage, and our sauces are an extension of generations of Terry’s smoking meat to feed their growing families in rural North Alabama and the panhandle of Florida. When we started making sauce my wife and two kids would crowd around the kitchen in aprons with spoons out stretched to taste and critique the latest batch. Once my entire family approved, I knew we were onto something special.

That’s why the heart of Pig Naughty Sauces is family, and family comes in all iterations, of course. Our food and sauces have been shared with church members, local schools, and the people we work with. Because my family, like yours, is a diverse crowd with talents and interests that cover a broad spectrum, but one thing we all agree on is eating good food and letting our hair down every once in awhile. Our goal is to provide you with time tested and family approved barbecue sauces to elevate your barbecue to the next level. Whether you do your cooking in the backyard or on a competition BBQ rig, we know that Pig Naughty Sauces is the secret weapon you’ve been looking for. From the entire Terry Family, Smoke On!
