As quoted in the Illinois Wesleyan Magazine:

As the pair chatted about their professional goals and personal convictions for living life to the fullest, an alignment of goals and values became clear. 

“We both care about followthrough, execution and trust. The businesses that have been the most successful have been built on trust. Erin has these qualities along with a level of intensity and focus, and she has the ability to create content that impacts people. Erin started working on Journey's marketing a few hours here and there. Then we realized we just need to dive in completely, so here we are,” said Jenkins. 

Sweeney now works as the Head of Marketing and Public Relations for Journey. She said studying at IWU taught her the value of a strong network, creative writing techniques, the power of simple language and how to maintain authenticity. 

“When it comes to a brand, it's all about the people behind it. What Will is creating here with Journey is just the beginning, and I'm helping tell that story through visual content, social strategy and brand collaborations.”
