JAX Chamber program launches to engage business leaders in government affairs
Jacksonville, Fla. — August 27, 2025 — Wander Media Company is proud to announce that Founder and CEO, Kate Strickland, has been selected for the inaugural class of Influence Jax, a new leadership program launched by the JAX Chamber. The program is designed to prepare and connect business leaders who are interested in government affairs and the impact of public policy on the Jacksonville business community. Influence Jax’s first cohort brings together a diverse group of professionals who will participate in a series of sessions with government officials, policy experts, and community leaders. The program provides participants with unique access to the decision-making process while equipping them with tools to effectively advocate for their industries and organizations. “Wander Media Company was founded to give destinations, resorts, and organizations a stronger voice in an increasingly competitive landscape,” said Strickland. “Being part of the first Influence Jax class is an opportunity to extend that mission—making sure that small businesses and entrepreneurs have a seat at the table in conversations about our city’s growth and future.” Strickland launched Wander Media Company in 2016 and has built it into the Southeast’s premier destination marketing firm. The company specializes in developing custom content platforms for destinations, resorts, and tourism-driven brands, distributing high-impact video storytelling on major streaming platforms including Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, and YouTube TV. Wander Media Company congratulates Strickland on this recognition and looks forward to the impact she will continue to make on behalf of the business community through Influence Jax.
