Jessica Best was appointed by Mayor Quinton Lucas to the Kansas City Liquor Control Board of Review. By day, Jessica works at marketing agency, Barkley, located in the Crossroads, as VP of Data-Driven Marketing. Evenings and weekends, she has lead planning committees and volunteer groups for KCUR, the Kansas City Direct Marketing Association, and nonprofits like United Way of Greater Kansas City, Boulevardia, and Water.org.
She was in the 2013 Class of Centurions with the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and prides herself on data-driven strategy, having won the Direct Marketer of the Year award in 2017 in Kansas City and being named one of DMNews’ 40 Under 40 in 2018.
Her role on the Liquor Control Board of Review suits her perfectly, which you can tell by her Instagram channel, which features her food (and beverage) exploits across Kansas City (and the world).
