about us
Dr. Debra Jasper and Betsy Hubbard, co-founders of Mindset Digital, show you how to take advantage of powerful new channels to engage clients, customers and large audiences. They have provided training/consulting to more than 14,000 people from Utah to Ukraine– and as last year’s national keynote speakers for KeyBank gave talks to thousands of business leaders in 17 cities across the country.
They’ve also worked with leaders from a wide range of companies, nonprofits and government agencies, including KeyBank, the Ukrainian Council of Ministers, American Electric Power, The Ohio State University and Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center.
Before starting Mindset Digital, Debra and Betsy spent seven years directing the Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism at Ohio State, where they launched the first social media fellowship for journalists in the nation — training reporters from CNN, 60 Minutes, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and other top newsrooms. They also taught graduate courses in the John Glenn School of Public Affairs on the impact of digital media on public affairs.
