JNA Advertising is launching Unfenced, a new unit dedicated to clients in the animal health industry.

Karen Padgett, a former executive with Hill’s Pet Nutrition and Ceva Animal Health, will serve as Unfenced’s president. She also happens to be a doctor of veterinary medicine.

“As one of the most talented and respected people in the animal health industry, we’re delighted to have Dr. Padgett be a part of our growing company,” said John Nohe, CEO of the Overland Park-based JNA Advertising. “She brings a new dimension to our service offering that will benefit many clients.”

JNA already has several animal health clients, including Ceva, VetSource and K9s for Warriors. Unfenced will offer help with marketing, branding and advertising, plus an array of consulting services including business strategy, product innovation, M&A integration and more.

“I’m looking forward to this new chapter,” Padgett said. “I have great respect for John Nohe and the quality of work produced at JNA. I’m excited to leverage my experience and grow this new division.”

JNA Advertising is a past winner of the 25 Under 25® Award.
